Totally Free

Lord, break these chains that bind…

My hands, my feet, my mind

Some links were formed

When I was scorned

Some were created when I felt hated

Some were attached by myself

When I would not accept my Savior’s help

Some were added whenever I’d mourn,

And wish that I had never been born.

Each chain gained weight with the enemy’s hate

Lord please don’t leave me in this state

Come pierce my heart with your sweet truth

And heal the wounds I’ve had since youth

Please break each chain, help me to see

The woman of God I’m destined to be

Gloriously, beautifully, TOTALLY FREE!!!!!!

“The captive exile and he who is bent down by chains shall speedily be released: and he shall not die and go down to the pit of destruction, nor shall his food fail. For I am the Lord your God, Who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar and Who by rebuke restrains it –the Lord of hosts is His name.”
Isaiah 51:14-15 Amplified

Lisa,
Thank you for sharing your poem not only with Calvary but with the District at our Women of Purpose Conference this month. I've had a few requests for copies of your poem so I thought I would share it with others on our blog. Be blessed and be FREE!
