Made Free
Born under a law
I could not keep.
Desperate for a Father
to just love me.
I stumble
about the earth,
unable to find
attention, direction,
protection…for my mind.
Bound by lies,
I hate myself.
Void of value,
I forfeit wealth.
Your Word stretches down,
grabs hold of my soul,
executes my past,
revives me whole.
Up from the grave,
and into Your Son.
No more a prisoner,
You and I are one.
Each new day,
is my chance to see,
who You are…
reveals me.
My mind above,
my shame has died.
My life now hidden,
In Christ with God.
