Gomer

rip body from my soul,
how can it ever bring good?

stomach churns and aches.

he touches so good,
but death is calling, "Let's meet."
shaking, I go hide.

there is shame, lust, pride;
when will this be over with?
i thought we'd be done.

thorn, how I yearn,
we've distorted love and sex,

i'm not one with him.

i'm not one with him.
my heart screamed, "No!", body wept,

only whispers left.

can't last in embrace,

breaking apart from within,

understand this pain.

anyone know shame?
good God, how i hate these wants,

what good comes from lusts?

Whoa! whoa! to these sorrows of every woman!

Outcomes were heavier than what was given

Men took away my worth, my voice, my intelligence

And we were left with absolutely 

Nothing

You, God, came and lifted my chin

Out from the mire and clay we begin

Up from the liars' den, were I was eaten

A weight was lifted, burdens broken

Redeemed from such a weary past

Eternity I was given, eternity within Your presence I needed

Putting away my rags,

Reaching for His riches.

In my Savior, I am fully and forever forgiven.

Called worthy, brave, and wise,

Eyes opened to a world of healing,

Leaving behind 'what once was' for a 'now is.'

Everything captivated by grace,

Sanctified by a gentle and humble embrace.

Satisfied by His Spirit now and forever, Amen.
