Emma Prayed

She had a willful heart, untamed
She was a picture of a mess
By anger framed
And her rage went on
Her search was futile but strong
Her rage went on
Till the little girl was gone
And her family hoped she'd be okay
Maybe she needs some time
Sometimes it takes time
To find your way

She traveled miles and miles to get away
It took her from all she knew into unchartered waves
And her rage went on
The lies, the deceit were strong
Her rage went on
Till the traces of her were gone
And the substance numbed
But didn't fill the spaces
The hollow spaces that remained

But redemption proved to be not far away
It pursued her with fury
A new kind of flame
Until the day she decided to pray
She finally prayed

She said
I have a willful heart
I'm so ashamed
Are You the one to pay the price
That I have claimed
Cause my rage went on for so long
I'm holding on to You now

And He washed the stains
The guilt away that day
That beautiful day
That Emma prayed
Emma prayed
Emma prayed

And He washed it all away that day
He washed it all away that day
He washed the stains
The guilt away that day
What a beautiful day
That Emma prayed
