A Phoenix's Song

You think you’ve hurt me

You think I no longer exist

You think I can't rise above your tricks

I’m a Phoenix, I always survive

I emerge from the flames

My wings are intact

My soul is in tune with my Lord

I am never consumed or heavy with anger

Water was once my enemy

 But as with anything

I came, I conquered

You came to

Kill

Still

Destroyed

I am a Phoenix

I will always rise in Jesus’ Name
