BY ANGELS SENT
By evil scarred, of terror born, a soul flees through each night; risen from the ashes, shorne, and sent back from the Light. Pursued through veils of haunted sleep and mercy never shown, tender flesh and heart gashed deep - this soul without a home. She tread upon the razor shards of shattered innocence, witness to the cruelest harms that evil can dispense. Seared by horror's fiery brand and marked for evermore; wandering in a barren land, a virgin child no more. Then came the night that time stood still and shrouded her in fear; demons closing for the kill and drawing ever near. But angels heard her dying cries and gazed upon the soul; tears flowed forth from loving eyes at all that evil stole. From their midst they did send forth a strong and wondrous Man, to guard her and proclaim her worth and challenge Satan's plan. With caring heart and guided hand He nurtured and sustained; with His light the darkness banned, freeing her again. With courage few men can sustain and wisdom beyond measure; He comforted and bore her pain, declaring her His treasure. This soul once driven to her knees, trembling and ashamed; in His embrace at last knew peace, her raging torment tamed. It is to Him her heart appealed - His guidance and His care; in His embrace her soul was healed, and she found solace there. He fulfilled the covenant sealed in blood and innocence; prophesying horror healed with love and tolerance. Through this Man by angels sent comes healing of the soul; torture vanquished, terror spent - a spirit rendered whole. Once again set free to love and be loved in return - in He who's come from God above a fire of goodness burns. With its flame, He sears once more to let its powers cleanse the soul and heart through which hate tore - the suffering now ends. She stands before Him whole and free to flourish in His love; cherished for eternity by One sent from above.
