Redemption

wounds bounded in these chains, no looseness in this cord,
i cry out in distress, while there is no rest, i cannot take this anymore,
i want to please you, lord in all i say and do,
but why does it seem when i try to change the harder i search for you,
to change my life,
change everything to please you,
when you already have told me i'll never leave you,
where in this relationship, one can always count on the other,
he says you can't do this on your own, so don't even bother,
forget about it, and grab ahold of me,
lean in close to me and i'll show you,
love has no chains, its free of its bounds,
listen to me, look around,
pain will always try to grip you away,
but i will teach you love sees through these horrible ways, 
it overcomes,
its an overpass to the other side,
you cannot run from sin, you cannot hide,
a searching for what?
for ultimate perfection?
but my darling, can't u see i am your redemption

Cortney I certainly can relate to this poem - I tried to run from my own sin many times and all I did is find more victims with which to feed my poison - I no longer run I just turn to the Lord and my life has changed so much - Love your inspiring powerful poetry - God Bless
