Liberated
Liberated
Free to fly
Free to live
Liberated to finally
Just forgive
Nothing to think
Nothing left to tell
No more need
To sit and dwell
No more heart ache
No more fears
None of those bitter
Midnight tears
Allowed to forget
Allowed to move on
Permitted to let
What is past just be gone
What I almost forgot
What is plain to see
Is that He was always right there
Alone with me
Others turned away
Others didn’t want to know
But he never ever
Let me go
It was down to the end
It was down to the wire
And it was then
He plucked me from the fire
He was there
He held on tight
Slaying all my demons
Without a fight
I learnt a lesson
I learnt something I already knew
Give over your burden
And He’ll carry it for you
You’ve done what you can
You’ve done all you could
Tried to do your best
To do what you should
But if you still don’t know
But if you still can’t see
Then it’s time to just
Let it be
Time to stand still
Time to wait without doubt
Because He is listening
He hears your shout
Wait and be patient
Wait and be calm
Even the toughest, fiercest enemy
He can disarm
There is an answer
There is a way
But you can’t see it
When you’re in the fray
Can’t see the puzzle
Can’t see the pieces coming together
You don’t know when or how
Or even whether
But He can
He does
So you just have to hold on
And trust
Trust He hears
Trust He does care
Don’t let those demons
Drive you from Him in despair
You’ll see Him act
You’ll feel it in your soul
When He holds out His hand
And pulls you from that deep, dark, black hole
He pulled me out
He set me free
And now I can finally
Just be me
I feel warmth again
I feel alive
I know now there’s nothing
I can’t survive
It’s a new sun that’s rising
It’s a brand new day
And as I stand to greet it
The shackles slip away
Tomorrow is clear
Tomorrow is light
The sky tomorrow
Is wide and bright
A cloud with a silvery lining
A rainbow appears
My eyes are washed
With happy tears
My eyes see
My heart sings
And I can feel the wind
Under new found wings
Lifted off my feet
Lifted into the blue
I’ve never seen
A more beautiful view
Soaring into tomorrow
Soaring into the free
Liberated to never forget
What He did for me

“For I, Jehovah your God, am grasping your right hand,
The one saying to you: ‘Do not be afraid. I myself will help you.’”
– Isaiah 41:13
“With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
– Jesus Christ, Matthew 19:26
“My very heart is in severe pain within me
and the frights of death itself have fallen upon me.
Fear, yes, trembling itself enters into me
And shuddering covers me
And I kept saying: O that I had wings as a dove has!
I would fly away and reside
Look! I would go far away in flight
I would lodge in the Wilderness.
I would hasten to a place of escape for me
From the rushing wind
From the tempest…
For it was not an enemy that proceeded to reproach me
Otherwise I could put up with it…
But it was you, a mortal man who was my equal
One familiar to me and my acquaintance
Because we used to enjoy sweet intimacy together
Into the house of God we used to walk with the throng…
As for me, to God I shall call out
And Jehovah himself will save me
Evening and morning and noontime I cannot but show concern and I moan
And he hears my voice.
He will certainly redeem my soul in peace from the fight that is against me…
Throw your burden upon Jehovah himself
And he himself will sustain you.
Never will he allow the righteous one to totter…
As for me – I shall trust you.”
– David Son of Jesse, Psalms Chapter 55
When you’ve seen a miracle performed in a very personal way in your own life – something impossible, something that meant everything to you – you never forget. And you find ways to say ‘thank you’ every single day afterwards. ~ Rach
