"I'm Done" by Tracy Lawrence

Life hit me when I wasn't looking.
It dealt me a hard hand to play.
I felt betrayed and forsaken.
But, I've been makin' the wrong people pay.

I'm Done... I'm Done...

I've spent my last night in that prison,
Where anger and pride were the bars.
Hey, I'm here to tell ya' I'm makin peace with the past.
And I'm not ashamed of my scars.

But I'm done...

I'm done harboring grudges and nursing old wounds;
done clinging to crutches and singing the blues.
I'm done pointing fingers at everyone else.
I'm taking a long hard look at myself .
A new day has begun ... and I'm done.

I called up somebody who'd hurt me.
We finally settled that score.
I had a right to be bitter.
Revenge would've been sweet,
But forgiveness is what ended that war.

I'm starting to see the big picture.
These days I'm gettin' high off of that.
No more killin' my pain with a three day binge.
That train has run out of track

I'm done...

I'm done harboring grudges and nursing old wounds;
done clinging to crutches and singing the blues.
I'm done pointing fingers at everyone else.
I'm taking a long hard look at myself.

I'm spending more time with the people I love;
The ones that will cry at my funeral.
I'm done feelin' hopeless; no, I'm not going there.
I'm greeting each morning with a smile and a prayer.

A new day has begun ... A new day has begun ... A new day has begun

Questions...

"If anyone asks you, why are you doing this? answer, The Lord needs it and He will send it back here, presently."  (Mark 11:3)

God is not going to save us from the questions.  There will always be people who question.  What He will do is give us the words to answer those questions, the way He wants us to.

"And they replied as Jesus had directed them, and they allowed them to go."  (Mark 11:6)
