Confinement
CONFINEMENT
I was confined in my solitude.
The cloud seams dark
And all hope seams lost!
I was confined in my solitude
It ate me deep, like termites ate the wood.
I was confined in my solitude
I could only see the darkside of life…
He persistently point to me the darkside of life.
I allowed him for so long to play with my emotions.
Cos for so long I believe in his lies…
He gained access so much to it…
He toiled with it…
Battered it…
I no longer have a mind of my own.
Though a tiny still voice keep assuring me,
All will be well…
All will be well…
Remember my promises…
Abraham’s blessings are yours
I will never leave you, nor forsake you.
I tried so hard, to leave my confinement
To believe in His promises
I have stayed too long on this valley
But the reality of my situation
Roars at me like a lion.
It became a battle field of the mind!
Then one thing… just one thing
Gave me key to freedom
The attitude of praise..
The heart of Thanksgiving…
The heart to be grateful!
As I entered into His gate with Thanksgiving
And His court with praise,
Doors were opened…
mountains were lifted…
Valleys were exalted…
Shackles were broken…
Then in my confinement, I became free!
Through my act of praise, I became free!
