strong on the outside
but dying on the inside

my fractured heart aches
but my soul is alive

my fear is stronger than ever
but His love sets me free

my happiness has gone into hiding
but i won't give up

i will not drown
for my hope is anchored in Christ

i will survive
for in forgiveness there is freedom

and even when it causes pain or discomfort
i will continue to love

for the joy of the Lord is my strength
forever and always

and i will see the goodness of the Lord
all in His perfect timing
