Analysis of Redeemed Grace



I lived a life in the known
The color that these eyes were blinded to, has always been free to thee,
Just give your heart to the friend, who died to know you, to free you.
Take it, take it, I have nothing else to give but this old sinful heart of mine,
A heart, that I thought of as broken, damaged, unrepairable.
Unbeknown to me, this heart is full of Love, Beauty, and Hope.

Something needed to happen, while I lived an unloved life.
So, I got down on my knees, prayed, and believed and it was gone.
An unlived, unloved life, in the known, all gone, now nonexistent.

I live a life in the unknown,
The color that these eyes were blinded to, is always there for me,
an unconditional love, He decree.
I gave my heart to Jesus, and he set me free from depression, trauma, abuse, anxiety.
By the grace that once was self-imposed chains of bad choices made.
 I am Redeemed by Grace that has set me free
