Seven decades of life experience…
Who said I can’t tell my story?
Protect the innocent some say…
From my experience there are none who truly are…

Who said I can’t tell my story?
Bring them, bring them here.
From my experience there are none who truly are…
Brave enough to call me out face to face.

Bring them, bring them here.
Were they there when I could not breathe,
Brave enough to call him out to face
The judge, in whose hands I placed our fate?

Were they there when I could not breathe,
My heart pounding with every terrifying word?
They judge, but did not know my fate,
Or what it took to stay alive.

My heart pounding with every terrifying word,
Would risk my life to save my child.
Oh, do you know what it took to stay alive?
Grace, God’s grace, will protect the redeemed one day…

He says I can tell my story!
