Poetry
No longer is my name to be
“Survivor” any more;
For I have long since been redeemed
My life has been restored.
And I no longer will be seen
As one whose grief is worn;
Like medals from a battle won
For which my heart has mourned.
And shame no longer has the right
To claim me as its own;
Disgrace, dishonor are replaced
Yes, Love, He has atoned.
And hate no longer covers me
Within its evil shroud;
Weighing down my heart and soul
To keep my spirit bowed.
For when I claimed Survivorship
My heart believed the lie;
That grief and shame were evidence
What circumstance implied.
But Jesus came and set me free
Then showed me what was true;
“Survivor” kept me victimized
And kept my heart askew.
Then He taught me how to live
As one whose overcome;
Instead of holding to the past
I’m holding to the One.
The King of Glory; Jesus Christ
My Lord, and my Savior;
Yes through His blood I’m free and not
A victim any more.
