Poem
I was born to a family with a sister and brothers I was blessed also with a mom and her mother I thought I was theirs to nurture and raise me Till I could live on my own, but that was crazy What no one ever told me, what nobody did say Was before I was born, I was sold as a slave The slave master, satan, was always around about Though he was never seen or ever heard out loud “Decide for yourself whatever is good or evil Be your own boss, its your life and its legal Be your own God, make up all of your own rules Don’t let anyone tell you what to think or do” Your parents never loved you as much as the others? Be angry and bitter, don’t forgive them or bother They did not care enough to punish you? Was it abuse? They ignored you? Controlled you? There is no excuse! Nobody really loves you, why do you go on living? Everyone would be better off, I am not kidding You will just be miserable the rest of your life Get out of this hell, leave your husband or wife You don’t need a savior you are not all that bad You are a pretty good person, just dealt a bad hand But something kept telling me this was not right Not really on my own, but a slave day and night Then somebody told me about a slave freer: Jesus Who did die to redeem us and in the past freed us Long ago He paid the price, I’d been freed for ages If I believed all His promises on His Bible pages I bought you from satan to whom you were sold I alone hold your deed now, but you must be bold When he comes to reclaim you and come he will Show him your deed has been stamped: Paid in full! I’ve forgiven you all of your debts that is true But there are debts owed you must forgive too I have died to free you but for you to be loosed You must also loose all those who have hurt you When I died, I gave you in My will to Father God And to you I left all My power over satan to trod If he comes to you with lies of any bill overdue Show him My will, resist him, he’ll flee from you God will always be with you, His promises are true He will send His Spirit to live in and guide you His love casts out fear and you will know peace So trust in His love for you, be born anew.
