Redemption
Stronghold 1989 (Greensboro)
Redemption, oh sweet redemption,
The journey of a broken soul,
Rising from the ashes of destruction,
Becoming whole, once again whole.
Like a phoenix burning bright,
I spread my wings and take flight,
Leaving behind my past mistakes,
Embracing a new path, no longer opaque.
For too long, I carried the weight,
The burden of my wrongs,
But now I release it all,
And sing a new song.
Redemption, oh sweet redemption,
A second chance at life,
To find peace and forgiveness,
And let go of all strife.
The journey is not an easy one,
For the road is filled with thorns,
But I walk with determination,
With every step, my soul reborn.
I face my demons, fearless and brave,
Conquering them one by one,
With each victory, I gain strength,
For redemption has just begun.
My heart was once barren,
With darkness clouding my mind,
But now I see a glimmer of light,
A chance to leave my past behind.
Redemption, oh sweet redemption,
The greatest gift of all,
To heal the wounds and scars,
And break free from the prison walls.
I embrace the beauty of this world,
With every breath, I am alive,
No longer a prisoner of my own self,
But a warrior, ready to thrive.
The journey of redemption,
Is not without its pain,
But every tear shed is worth it,
For in the end, I'll rise again.
I may have faltered, stumbled and fell,
But I refuse to stay down,
For redemption is my destiny,
And nothing can bring me down.
Like a flower blooming in the spring,
I blossom in the light,
Letting go of all the darkness,
And embracing what is right.
Redemption, oh sweet redemption,
The light at the end of the tunnel,
Guiding me towards a brighter tomorrow,
And leaving behind all my sorrows.
No longer a slave to my past,
I am free to shape my fate,
With my head held high,
I embrace my newfound state.
For redemption is not just a word,
But a journey, a way of life,
A chance to rewrite my story,
And leave behind all my strife.
So I walk on, towards the horizon,
With determination and grace,
For redemption is my salvation,
My ultimate saving grace.
Redemption, oh sweet redemption,
A journey that never truly ends,
For I will continue to grow,
And make amends.
I am redeemed, I am restored,
A new chapter has begun,
And with every step, I take,
I am closer to the sun.
So I'll sing this song of redemption,
With all my heart and soul,
For it is the greatest gift of all,
The journey that made me whole.
