Title: Broken Chains Post by: pud on January 25, 2006, 07:32:57 PM BROKEN CHAINS I thought I knew you Lord But today you showed me, how wrong I was. I was sitting in a very deep pit Deep and dark with slippery sides And the more I attempted To climb Those walls The more I became covered In sticky secretions Which further hampered my movements. I called out to you for mercy And you answered my call You came to my assistance And offered me new life You sat on the edge of the pit With your hand out stretched to me Forgive me Lord For not answering your call. I continued to struggle In the pit of despair Becoming more and more entrenched In the filth that was there. Again and again I prayed For an end to the pain But yet I ignored You and your gift of love. You have so much compassion You could not bear to witness My pain. So my Lord You leapt into the darkness Alongside me To Comfort me and to relieve me Of some of my anguish To fight some of my demons On my behalf. Today, Lord You whispered gently In my mind. You chastised me Sweetly. You told me You could no longer stay With me In my pit. It was time to move on Together. You took my hand in yours And said trust me With all your heart. With your awesome power You filled my pit with radiant light And turned it on to its side Lord you lead me out By your side We walked through a green field And came to a rusty gate Barred by chains and locks And barbed wire. At one word from you The bolts slid away And the chains were broken in two. As we stepped through the gate It immediately closed Behind us And new signs appeared Saying keep out Trespassers will be shot. You lead me through A spring meadow Full of fresh green growth And daffodils Gently swaying in the breeze You lead me to a wooden bench Looking out at a vast lake You told me to rest And be at peace at last.
