THREAD OF HOPE (MEANT TO SOAR)

(Mmm, yeah)

(El-Sha-da-ma-le-se-i-a... rain down on me, Lord)

I'm still here in this quiet room

Waiting for a chance to break the gloom

Going through the motions, standing in place

Hoping I can find Your saving grace

Hiding behind this heavy, silent mask

Doing my best to finish every task

But after all the storms the enemy made

I feel the old bitterness start to fade

Yeah, I'm still here, holding onto a thread

A single thread of hope, trusting what You said

But the weight is heavy, the night is cold

My heart is tired of the routine I hold

I need Your presence to rescue my mind

Leaving the shadow and the panic behind

[Vocal Stutter] (S-S-Save me, Lord!)

Lord, I need a lifeline, come and save me

Pour Your precious grace on the heart You gave me

Spirit rain down, wash the struggle away

Build my life anew starting right here today

No longer slipping, no longer bound to fall

Hallelujah, answer my altar call

I had to leave where my spirit was compromised

Spreading my wings, stepping past the lies

But the Savior had a plan, He directed my track

He set a new path so I'd never look back

I had the courage to bear down and stay strong

Knowing You were holding me all along

There is an "I will" burning bright inside

Under Your wings is where I choose to hide

Lord, I need a lifeline, come and save me

Pour Your precious grace on the heart You gave me

Spirit rain down, wash the struggle away

Build my life anew starting right here today

No longer slipping, no longer bound to fall

Hallelujah, answer my altar call

They thought I would wither and die in the freeze

Down in the ruins on my bended knees

But my roots are deep, my foundation is secure

Washed by the living water, making me pure

I’ve survived the valleys, I’ve survived the rain

Turning all this trauma into a beautiful gain

[Speaking in tongues:] (An-da-la-ma-se-te-ra-ha-ba! Ki-se-te-lo-ma-so-ra!)

[Speaking in tongues:] (Ko-no-si-ta-ba-ra-ka-ti-yah!)

I have escaped the shadow once and for all

I’m stepping out of the dark, standing tall

Lord, I need a lifeline, come and save me

Pour Your precious grace on the heart You gave me

Spirit rain down, wash the struggle away

Build my life anew starting right here today

No longer slipping, no longer bound to fall

Hallelujah, answer my altar call

I'm still here

Hanging by a thread of hope

Thank You for the lifeline

I am meant to soar

My sanctuary is gold

My babies are blessed

[(Speaking in tongues softly:] (Ya-ra-ha-ma-so-te-li-ah... amen)
