"God's Hand Came Down and Saved Me That Day" #writing #lorijeanfinnila #newsong? #singersongwriter
Of all the abuse in my life I've finally been able to put it into words. It's amazing how hard my life has been and because I haven't been able to get these words out.
"God's Hand Came Down and Saved Me That Day"

He led me into thin ice
It was a cold day
I wanted to play
I was fearless
I was ferocious
I would lead myself astray
I could be led far
I could be led astray
I was led too far that day
The words that are so hard to express
I had to learn to say
I bobbed up and down
Screaming for help
No one was around
He didn’t reach out to help
He laughed and smiled
Like the horse he threw me off of
Like the bike he tossed me off of onto the street
Like the rocks he wanted me to trip on in the water
Like the ones I sled over too hard
That he patiently waited for me to pass out to
Like the police he waited to take me when I was drugged
But he didn’t because he said I looked too young
But instead that day
I reached out, I cried out for help inside
And I got an answer
I went around the thin ice
As he laughed through me in shock
I walked through the thin ice I couldn’t pass
As he was amazed as I heard it crack
As I was fearless and ferocious
I led myself through this with God’s hand
Why would my life be saved once again
I was fearless
I was ferocious
I would lead myself astray
God’s hand came down
And saved me that day
