Journey to Freedom

Restricted.
I feel conflicted.
My past hurts
are vindictive.

Satisfied
In evil contentment
Should I ignore
My hearts resentment?

It's troublesome
Cause I know the truth,
Yet I search
For constant proof.

Miracles
It is what I wish,
To know it is I that
You cherish.

But I am bonded,
I am chained,
A victim of sweet
Innocence slain.

Shackled flesh,
Iniquity's blot
Has scorned perfection
I have sought.

Infiltrate
Perverse decisions.
Purify my heart's
Divisions.

Restoration
Of your heart's desire,
Breathing forth
Starting fire.

Melting strongholds,
Calling surrender.
You sweep away the
Ash and cinder.

Relinquished,
You cannot refrain,
From breaking link and link
And chain and chain!

Freedom at last!
Freedom I long!
Freedom is hope!
Freedom is strong!

Freedom is wholeness!
Freedom is home!
Freedom is release
Of God's peace and shalom.
