[01:05.36] | I done been through some painful things I thought that I would never make it through. |
[01:09.67] | Filled up with shame from the top of my head to the soles of my shoes. |
[01:15.19] | I put myself in so many chaotic circumstances, but by the grace of God I've been given so many second chances. |
