UPDATE - The Trauma of Betrayal by Tim Tedder

HEALING PLACE (AffairHealing.com)

Lyrics: Tim Tedder, Music: AI Music Lab

Come as you are, bring pieces you’ve saved,

Fragments of you—so broken, so brave.

We’ll sit with the sorrow, release all the shame,

Restoring what’s shattered, reclaiming your name.

(Chorus)

In this healing place there’s room to feel,

To breathe through the hurt, believe wounds can heal.

Faith over failure, hope over pain,

Finding the courage to love once again.

It’s okay to stumble and question the path,

Feel the pain of the loss, but not let it last.

There’s strength in the waiting, grace in the fall,

We’re building back bridges and breaking down walls.

(Chorus)

This is a heartache that hollows your soul,

Making you doubt if you’ll ever be whole.

But others have come here in much the same way,

Opening doors to a new, brighter day.

(Chorus)

So welcome inside, take a breath, you can stay.

This room is your refuge until the new day.
