The strings are pulled delicately
The puppet twirling into a dance
Its flailing limbs, powerless to resist
Its taunting captor’s commands
But my God You saw my humiliation
The entangled lies in my mind
You cut me free from what trapped me
And healed the hurt that was inside
You strengthened my weak arms
And empowered my trembling knees
My hardened heart, You cherished
Despite the scars of my tragedy
Now I no longer dance to circus music
An orchestral melody moves my heart
A crescendo flowing from my Saviour
To which, it is a joy to dance
