I wandered in darkness
bruised, and by sin battered
no relief from the starkness
dreams, ambitions, goals all shattered

Stumbling in darkness nothing mattered
no foundation, destiny forlorn and lost
the way hopeless, direction was shattered
no warmth or shelter: mere icy frost

Today I have tears in my smiles
for I have victory through the trials
so don't think me crazy or undignified
for through His Blood, I'm sanctified!

I get loud and noisy when I worship Him
dignity loses it's place when I cause a din
and I think of what He saved me from
I get happy all over and shout like drums

No! I'm not dignified!
but I AM sanctified!
I learned those two don't go together
His joy makes me strain against the tether

My soul soars with such pure glee
when I feel His presence so mightily
So pure and sweet, to His Spirit I cling
and out the window dignity I sling

People around me think I'm noisy
those who don't know can't understand
the great boundless depths of joy and beauty
as I release from deaths' prison holding His hand
