The Survivor
I have heard the slander of many
Terror on every side
While they counseled together against me
And planned to take away my life
I am small, concealed in this darkness
Yearning to see the light
But I may never because of the heartless
Attempt to take away my life
Am I safe, the water around me
Is changing, is it alright
But I am burning, oh what are they doing
They want to take away my life
But as for me I trust in Thee
Oh Lord, my times are in Your hand
You are my God, deliver me
From the solution that they have planned
I’m condemned, completely unwanted
I struggle to stay inside
Oh my dear mother your future is haunted
If they take away my life
I’m cut off, exposed in this cold room
For love and warmth I strive
Will you discard me, throw away or starve me
And slowly drain away my life
But as for me I trust in Thee
Oh Lord, my times are in Your hand
You are my God, deliver me
From the solution that they have planned
Desperate hands reach out to embrace me
And steal away in the night
A gentle voice is speaking assuringly
No one will take away your life
Now I am one apart from the millions
Fortunate to survive
And though I bear in my body these old wounds
They didn’t take away my life
But as for me I trust in Thee
Oh Lord, my times are in Your hand
You are my God, deliver me
From the solution that they have planned
Oh
