I strife
Valiantstar 1961 (Sydney)
Hey, yes I strife,
To reach out from the other side.
If my words speak to you,
You'll understand that there true.
I lived a life that's bent,
Taken to hell and back again.
But the thing I say to you,
His love came through.
First made me loathe myself,
Then understood it was heaven sent.
All the things He said are true,
He can make us brand new.
Free to live a life in Him
Forever under His wing.
Where we see the world anew
This is a gift to you.
To live the life He gave,
Free from sin, and the curse of the grave.
To show a new and living way,
Once found, never stray.
