Freedom
Freedom comes
In waves
Of emotion
In forgiveness
The pain
Of the past
Can’t outrun
My Saviour
His hands
Hold gently
The pieces
I’m afraid of
Ushering me
Into stillness
Into closeness
Into His embrace
I don’t need
To hide
From Him
He sees all of me
He isn’t afraid
To meet me
Where I am
He understands
He rewrites
My story
For His glory
His masterwork
All the pain
The hurt
He knows
He cares
In the healing
Of my soul
He comforts me
With His presence
The balm of Gilead
He restores me
He declares victory
Over the past
There is hope
For a brighter tomorrow
All of yesterdays sorrow
Has a purpose
I cannot earn this
His love for me
It’s a gift
Offered through grace
He has saved me
Time and time again
Even when
I was at my end
My Father in heaven
My Redeemer, my strength
He has given me breath
To see my future unfold.
