Rachel Joy Scott

Just passing by

Just coming through

Not staying long

I always knew

This home I have

Will never last

By, Rachel Scott

Jesus, break these strong holds

Tear down the strings of sin

Release me from my pride

Rescue me from these games

Restore me from the hurt

Renew my heart again

Tear down this bondage

Destroy this burden

Give me love gives me peace.

My life, my love, my wants

My needs, my passion

My strength, my faults,

My sin, my friends,

My foes, my family

My all... Is now yours!

By, Rachel Scott

As I was weeping

And crying,

And fell to my knee

I heard the lord’s voice,

He was speaking to me,

He said there would be,

No more sins,

No more lies,

Only peace and happiness,

In all my cries...

By, Rachel Scott

You said" that’s bad"

I said "so what"

You said, "he lies"

I said, "he’s fun"

You said, "please stop"

I said, "shut up"

You said, "I love you"

I said "not now"

But then the matches

Burned my hands

And he wasn’t there for me

He left me

In the dark alone

But I was not alone

You said, " I love you "

I said "why?"

You said, " because I made you."

By, Rachel Scott

When I feel

You’re powerful presence

I fall to my knees

And cry in repentance

All I feel

Is your wonderful love?

And this only comes

From heaven above.

By, Rachel Scott

I close my eyes

I open my mind

I think of things

Yet to come

One day I will see

The face of my love

One day I will be

In somebody’s arms

Until that day

Will come to be

I close my eyes

And dream a dream
