Listen to poem:

Freedom Awaits

isaiah 61 says " The spirit of the sovereign Lord is on me
writing these words in solitude today
in St Andrews Church Coniston 
just me n God tranquility fills my soul
I can vizilige the Father Heart of God
hugging me right now 
so beautiful, so special, so anointed

fill us now Lord with your spirit 
your love
your joy
your compassion
your peace 

he sent me to bind up the broken hearted
as He set me free from brokenness 
there is hope there is freedom 
to all who ask believe  receive 
power of God sets people free
I sure am an example of that today
come on captives freedom calls ur name

release from darkness 
locked in a prison cell today
freedom calls your name
brand new life awaits you
freedom from all addictions
its possible its yours today
all shackles will snap in Jesus Name 

fill us now Lord with your spirit
your love
your joy
your compassion
your peace 


Wrote this today Sunday 6th September in St Andrews Church in Coniston. Forgot no service as was monthly bikers service breakfast at our church in Torver.  As I was there n church always open 9am till 5.30 . I sat there in the solitude just praying. Then wrote this n put music too it. A couple walked in he came straight to me said sorry to disturb you, but what's that beautiful song your listening to brought comfort to me listening to words. I explained I just wrote the song sitting in Tranquility here. He said wow you got God given talant promise me you'll never stop writing and making songs . I dunno how I didn't cry with their tenderness I bite my lip to stop tears.
