Renewed

Walking slowly along the road of life

With my battered spirit tagging along,

All of my strength had gone like wisps of smoke

As I struggled with life’s blows and troubles

Without any doubt I had lost all hope.

Suddenly I heard a voice call to me

Let me have your broken spirit for keeps

Your battered and old self for a new one

And your wretched heart for one made brand new.

I turned to him who called and saw his face.

With the exchange complete and finalised

I stand refreshed, revamped and revitalised

With all the strength I can muster and call,

I shout at the top of my voice like mad.

I am energised and have been renewed.
