No Longer Bound

I close my eyes and the darkness envelopes me

I open them so I don’t have to see

that which lives in the dark…the memory

that crashes over me like a wave at sea.

 

 

Sleep evades me in the dark of night

as the fire inside threatens to ignite

an inferno that is too big to fight

alone…I need to stay in the Light.

 

 

In this pain, I feel isolated…alone

and every fiber of me…my every bone

longs to forget…to dethrone

this thing that makes me groan.

 

 

I asked for this…signed on the dotted line

never believing the things I’d see would haunt and confine

me to a state of paralysis…like standing on a land mine

waiting to blow me into the divine.

 

 

I don’t ask for pity, not gonna continue to go on

I have a Savior who loves me enough to have gone

to the cross and been raised on the third dawn

that my sins…and this pain…would one day be gone.

 

 

Wiped clean by the blood

of the Lamb, I pray come and pull me from the mud

of my past. Come over me now like a flood

oh Lord, and create a new life that will bud…

 

 

Inside me and push to the ground

all of me…so that when I look around

all I see and feel is You, crowned

with all authority and no longer bound.

 

 

Love,

a Dad and a child of God
