Bondage Room
Years of agonizing self pitying oppression
Wounds of deep dark lingering depression
I sat in a dark cold room believing this was all that will be
That there was no way I would ever be set free
And in a great presence the Lord spoke to me
Here I sat in great pain always holding the key
Forgive trust in me and leave this place
And I will wash your sins away without a trace
And as I turned to look at those cold unloving walls
The heavy chains attached around me in despair that calls
I grew tired of looking out the glass at a beautiful place
Where angels fly and nature dances with grace
My past following me as a taunting ghost
I fell in a lake of self pity like most
Loathing this room I cried for a way out
And in my screams the Lord said you don’t have to shout
Move your feet and walk to the door
Neglect your fears and worry no more
With my aching hands I turned the key
Holding what was always mine secretly
Running towards his arms never to look back
My past is no more in the room of all black
Only he could set me free
Living in bondage is death spiritually
I could never thank him not even with eternity
So in the time I am given I say thank you Lord
For being my friend and conquering sword
To beloved Jesus
