In a world that seems so dry.
You do not know, don’t understand
What’s happening around.
Can’t see clearly as you try to look
In the blurry clouds up in the space.
You feel dizzy, as though you’re tossed
In a frantic, hysteric air.
The pull is strong, there’s something wrong,
You can’t get out of bed.
The sky is dark, and it’s as if
Everything is lying dead.
You want to move but you cannot
‘Coz as you try, you feel a bump.
It’s as if you are in a box –
A box with a LOCK!
You try to shake that locked box,
On its four sides you try to thump!
But you feel helpless, then hopeless.
You do not have any strength.
“What shall I do?” you asked yourself.
I’m overpowered by a weakness.
But then I cried and managed to wail,
Asked for help from nowhere.
I talked and talked, ‘though I’m alone,
As if somebody’s there.
Then I just fainted, exhausted
From my long cry for help.
Then I woke up from a sleep
That has never been so deep.
I feel a strength I never felt
And such a great relief.
And there beside I see some bread,
And plenty of water beside.
I took them all and had my fill
I feel so satisfied.
Now I see light peeping up there!
I wonder what had just happened.
And wonder what will take place
After such incident.
‘Then I heard some soft, slow movements
It’s like somebody’s coming.
I hear some jingling, tinkling, jingling
What could be I’m hearing?
I heard a grab, I heard a snap
After a swift twist and twirl.
Then the box from where I’m in
Suddenly went very wide open.
I felt the air so cool and fresh,
Such light joy lingers in the air.
Then, I called out, “Who is there?”
Who is it my Rescuer?
Then my Savior came up to me
With such wonderful face.
He pulled me up out of the box
Then, showed me an opened LOCK.
I’m free!!! I’m free again,
From the lock that immobilized.
‘Coz in the embrace of His powerful love.
Now, my life is firmly LOCKED!
