She was drowning & dark with fear,
Even though the truth she did hear,

She didn’t want to face the past,
For the painful memories were vast,

Panic overtook her like a heavy cloud,
Her heart was racing, to breathe she was not aloud,

She turned her pain over to me,
Trusting soon she would be set free,

To God I went in fervent prayer,
For I knew above all others He truly doth care,

I laid the panic, fear & shame,
Before His throne in Jesus’ name,

I asked for His cleansing of her fear,
To wash away the unjust guilt & shame & hold her near,

He dressed her in a gown pure & white,
She danced with Jesus as if on a cloud so light,

Completely lifting her unjust guilt & shame,
Her fear was gone - with no blame,

The Peace of God overwhelmed with gentle power,
Like a rose bud just opening into a beautiful flower,

She felt the burdens lift away,
Her heart & soul calm, tranquil & gay,

Together we thanked the Father above,
For His Mercy, Grace, Peace, & Love !
