I have never posted a poem before but this one is special! It speaks of life and our desire for worldly dreams, and then it speaks of what really matters because often times those worldly dreams lead to imprisonment...oh not behind bars necessarily but a shackling of the soul. We are going to leave this world one day and as for me I want to hear the words from Jesus saying "Well done-good and faithful servant!" Don't laugh, everyone serves someone or something no one is truly the captain of their soul-not even the richest man! Here is Greg Holt's poem:
The World spoke
Its voice a lure
It drew me in
To sin for sure
I walked alone
My pain a shadow
Shackled by sin
A grave to follow
Forsaken and lost
You claimed me at great cost
Your mercy You gave
Your grace it healed me
My chains are broken
The shackles of sin opened
The Son has set me free
Sin has no claim over me
As I fall to my knees
I praise the One
Who gave it all for me
I have tasted
I have seen
You are good
Worthy of praise
We worship You
Worthy of sacrifice
We give our all to You
My chains are broken
The shackles of sin opened
The Son has set me free
Sin has no claim over me
Your forgiveness is a balm
Your love it heals me
Free at last
From the chains that bound me
Washed in the blood of the Lamb
Forgiven, clean, and free
The shackles have fallen away
Free at last
Free to be
As I was meant to be
Free at last
From a broken past
My chains are broken
The shackles of sin opened
The Son has set me free
Sin has no claim over me
by Greg Holt
Knowing Jesus is truly the beginning of wisdom!
