I am given
The road has been long.
You have hit bumps along the way.
You are coming out of the darkness.
See the light ahead.
I am the light.
I am giving back your freedom.
It was given freely.
It was never theirs.
I hear your cries.
I see your wounds.
When will it be over?
No more walking on glass.
You are my eagle.
Let the Holy Spirit carry you.
It is time to soar.
I am cleaning house.
There will be no more betrayal.
I am taking things back.
I will shake my house.
My children release my word.
I gave you my only son.
He will come back and save.
I never left you.
I am the Light.
Be my beacon for all to see.
Stand up my children.
See the glory rain.
I am bringing heaven home this day.
