I Am New

I Am New

Wasted years still haunt my memory
as I look back at who I used to be.
A broken heart became who I was,
a life shattered by life’s jagged edges.

Something got ahold of my soul,
turning heartache into dancing with joy.
I can’t describe the changes made in me,
as I let go of my weary and torn soul.

Joy finally echoed in my life,
changing from black to white.
I can see the lessons learned,
even when all seemed to be lost.

It’s now I realize the truth,
that through heartache and pain,
I was never alone – You were there;
and through You, I am new.
