| Like a frightened child holds his mommy's hand I hold unto you, Lord Like a puzzled child who can't understand I ask upon you, Lord Like a stubborn child ignores a command I sometimes leave you, Lord Like a brave little child making a stand I stand before you, Lord
I stand, I bow, right here, right now and thank you for your grace You've brought me back from shades of black to this most sacred place You gave me breath as I faced death and brought me from the edge So now I stand and hold your hand and to thee I do pledge You are my King, my everything salvation on this earth My wings I'll spread, I'm never dead an angel before birth I once was lost, but any cost is what my Lord would pay to save my soul, to make me whole to take my sins away I have been blessed, I'll do my best to live how I should live As Christ has done, the holy Son so too must I forgive So too must I solely rely on God and his great grace Never defy, never deny his most majestic place Now that I've heard, the truth, the word the choice is up to me to keep my mind and heart confined or set my spirit free |

| You gave me breath as I faced death This is my favorite line, as it uses a mixture of 'assonance' and ryhme.
'Assonance' is where the writer uses the same vowel sounds in a line like: "Do you like blue?"
Alliteration is where a poet uses the same consonants in a line like: "The lazy lizard lying limply on a rock."
