lyrics

Butterfly

“This is my story, this is my song. It wasn’t until I was 30 years old that I started down the road to healing, so if you’re thinking you’re too old and it’s too late, you’re not and it’s not. I remember that God Himself was spinning my cocoon, creating a safe place for the quiet work He was planning. Then when all the tears had finally been cried and the nightmares had finally turned into dreams, I was ready to begin my struggle to find my wings. And yes, He was there every step of the way, whispering encouragement to me as I struggled with fear and self-doubt. Today, I fly on faith and yes, He’s still here, helping me fly.” – Esther Tester

Torn, stained and broken
Afraid to be free
I was still a child inside
I was so afraid to fly

Through silent dark
You held my heart
You were calling me “holy”
You were calling me “free”

I am free
The stone is rolled away
I am free
The sun is on my face
I was lost in pride and blinded by the pain
Then You set me free and called me from the grave

Fly, fly
Break free from this chrysalis
Fly, butterfly
Spread your wings
Touch the sky
Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly

Truth was a fire
That burned off my fears
Finally I was breaking through
You were making all things new

Your love has won
My chains undone
Now I’m standing here holy
Now I’m standing here free

(Repeat Chorus)

Fly, fly
You’re free from this chrysalis
Fly, butterfly
Spread your wings
Touch the sky
Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly
