A season for Yohe

After reading Renee's book 'Purpose for the pain' (a must read!)
I got an idea for a new version of The between the tree's song 'a time for Yohe' running through my head and decided to write it so heres a season for Yohe...

A season for Yohe.
As she stands by the stage, face to the sky,
Praise comes from her lips
and floats right up to Him,
She has lived through so much pain,
but God's wiped away her tears,
He's her saviour and now she sings...

This is her time to dance,
This is her time to sing,
God's redeemed her and he'll use her,
to build up all who mourn,

It will help them when they see her,
pulled from hell and shouting his name,
broke through lies to tell them about truth,
her light shines so brightly all around,
she'll love 'em and tell 'em this is not their fault,
(but) time, love and jesus are keys to beat it,
Help them find God's love is... greater than medicine.

Were seein' her on fire,
She's on fire for her God!

Now heres the real version as written by Between the trees, my fave band at the moment!

"A Time For Yohe"
As she sits in the corner Face to the floor,
She dispels smoke from from her lips,
And slowly floats away with it,
Letting go of so much pain,
Her tears are thick enough to stain,
The pavement that slowly becomes
Her best friend when she needs to run away,

This is your time to weep,
This is your time to mourn,
Not yet time to build up,
Just a time to tear down Old walls

Does it help to say I'm sorry,
If so than I'm sorry that your so unhappy,
This life those lies are starting get you down,
Darling don't let them drag you around,
Saying "it's my fault" doesn't help repeated,
Time, love and Jesus seems to beat it,
She'll find out this is harder than, Taking medicine

We're still waiting for the fire,
Seeing smoke and waiting for the fire.
