Saved

A dagger thrown with the glance of an eye

a sword unsheathed with the heave of a sigh

unspoken words hang overhead

I'm crushed and abused by the things we never said

all the silent tears I've cried 

all the failures I've tried to hide

have left in me a gaping hole

what's one more piece from a broken soul

How can I keep up the fight

when everything is wrong that use to be right

how can I rise up from these ashes

how long before I'm healed of my gashes

one more day or ten more years

when will I be set free from these fears

How long will it take to forget what you said

how ling before your lies are cleared out of my head

every time I forgave and let you start new

you took my fears and proved them to be true

You taught me how to deal with rejection

I've become a master of friendship selection

no one who pries or wants to know 

someone who'll smile and put on a show

someone who tries hard not to be known

someone who'll leave my fragile soul alone

But then I met someone who actually cares

who takes on himself my burdens and ware

someone who'll love me no matter the wrong

and when I am weak someone who is strong

I found someone that I could believe in

someone who'll forgive me of my sin

He searched and he found the pieces of my soul

and thanks to this someone I'm being made whole

no more standing on the outside feeling alone

no more wishing in vain to truly be known 

I can now rise up and proudly proclaim

I was saved by this someone and Jesus is his name
