Notes About The Poem

It was Jesus' blood that He shed for us that
gives us freedom from our sins.  No church,
and certainly no man can forgive our sins
but only the Lord, Himself!  If you are in 
need of salvation or getting free from 
addictions, or other sins, it is the precious
Blood of Jesus Christ that will set you free.
God bless.

Spiritual Prison

Spiritual Prison

Tough and hard physical bars may
choose to remain
but it is the spiritual bars
that definitely cause us more pain.

Some prisoners are here
because wrong roads they have chose
others are here
being framed by one of their friends who actually was not a friend but a foe.

Whatever the case
the plan is still the same
the Father sent His Son 
that Heaven we would gain.

Not matter where you abide
or whatever shape that you are in
go to the Father in the name of Jesus
for you must confess your sins not to man but to Him.

And He being Faithful
will do the same for you
breaking asunder the spiritual bars
is the best thing for you that He can do.
