That looked a great deal like mine.
And for fear of the cat and a resident rat,
The mouse lived completely alone.
In darkest of night, her fear she would fight
A terror that beat like a drum
She scavenge for cheese while never at ease,
And retreat before the light of the sun.
I, too, was not bold, my story untold,
There was never a listening ear.
I’d retreat from the light for fear of a fight,
No friend, no companion, to cheer.
So often, I’d try to deal with the lie,
But deception had hold of my head.
When along came a preacher with the gift of a teacher
‘Come to Jesus for freedom,’ he said.
And without hesitation, in my situation, I knew I was not to delay.
I asked for His Love, which came from above, in exchange for
entrapment and fear.
Then His Spirit moved in on confession of sin,
And grave clothes no longer a thing.
I can’t comprehend the peace I can lend to others who live life alone,
No shame, only love, the Word from above
Our sins washed clear with His Blood.
In exchange for surrender, we’ll be covered in splendor.
In Light, there is liberty.
I praise God in Heaven for removing the leven
Of the world and its hidden agenda
Set free from high places, His Blood leaves no traces,
To His Lordship, I freely surrender.
