Darkness and its claws,
To me close it draws
Tight into its paws
I am now in awe
Entrapped in the law
With so many flaws
The truth I wish I knew
It would have made me new
Oh I wish I had a clue
Of his blood washing as the morning dew
It would have brought me through
And my life accrue
The dark night I withstood
All alone in the wood
My life, fake like nollywood
With no means of livelihood
Shaping me like an elm wood
And like raw gold in firewood
Renewed by the one who has all virtue
Oh how I am now valued
With no more residue
Of my past issue
Washing away all the tattoos
By his sacrifice I'm no longer a taboo.
The vile me he pursued
And to redeem, closer he drew
So that he could rescue
And So his view
I will see true
With the rest of his crew
I am now strongest because he is strongest
cause the dirty me he saw
He cleaned all up
Now I am clean as new
In the light of his word
Jesus, is my saving grace.
