Freedom...

Freedom

The mountain wall is high
Seemingly overwhelming
I look up, wanting to get beyond it
The more and more I try, I fail.

I lose all hope
And continue to walk around
searching endlessly
I continue in my lost and hopeless way.

I fear the climb, and fail in trying -
Wishing  I had wings of eagles,
then I could soar  over
 this mountain that looms above.

I stop and listen to a voice above,
Recognizing then, all that makes up my mountain.
I see sin, fear, insecurity,
Hopelessness, loneliness and rejection.

My mountain, as it seemed
Was not made by Him,
But placed there by me
And my responses to my life.

I kneel before my Maker
Humbled and amazed
At His amazing Grace
And restoration

He whispers softly, I can not hear
Because of my cries.
He speaks louder, I hear a faint voice
Then, He shouts to me over my weeping,

“Daughter, Be Free!”
He reveals to me
His hope, love, forgiveness and friendship
And oh, so much more.

My heart is humbled by His mercy
And my head no longer hangs in shame,
But is lifted high -
Meeting eye to eye with my Friend.

We look at this mountain together
And begin to chisel and conquer
The pain of abuse, the deception of sin,
The hopelessness of loneliness.

I soon see before me, the mountain wall
Come crumbling, becoming smaller and smaller
Then I look and see I am soaring
On the wings of my Savior

My heart is freed
No longer enslaved to sin
Freed from the pain of the past
Free - I am free at last.

He has brought healing to this heart
In order to set me free
I can now walk in confidence
                                           On this Journey with Jesus and me
