There once
was a lady in Holland,
Her name was Miss Corrie ten Boom,
When Nazis were coming to pillage,
She crafted a small hidden room.
She
wanted to help all her neighbours,
For most of her neighbours were Jews,
They came to her, seeking protection,
And not even one was refused.
She knew
God was guiding her actions,
She knew He was leading the way,
Whenever she needed direction,
She got on her knees and she prayed.
Now, God
had a plan for this lady,
But first she'd be locked in a cell,
In Ravensbruck Camp with her sister,
A place that felt so much like Hell.
She saw
many die all around her,
As ovens were stacked to the brim,
The smoke of their slaughter rose skyward,
And life for the living was grim.
But
someone had smuggled in scriptures,
And books of the Gospel were read,
And many found hope for the future,
But many more ended up dead.
With
everything looking so hopeless,
It seemed that in death she'd partake,
Then prison guards came to release her,
She found it was done by mistake.
Now back
with her friends and her family,
Her prayers to the Lord were fulfilled,
She grieved when she found out what happened,
The ones left behind had been killed.
But now
she was learning forgiveness,
As Christ forgave those when He died,
She travelled the world teaching others,
And now in God's presence abides.
