Tearing Down Walls That Bind (Free Verse)

(Rebuilding Our Lives)


All who have truly lived… 
Have, stood behind many walls; 
Some had unforeseen bobbed-wired fences
Placed there, by unusual circumstances…
Where it appears, that one may seem to be forced 
To react in the unnatural form of ones inherited nature. 

Our souls having been imprisoned ~ by falsehoods;
Without knowledge from which wisdom --
Takes up the strides, we shall remain in a weakened state
Behind the very same walls in ignorance…
Contrary to some belief’s ignorance is not bliss my friends 
However, knowledge is Power.

It is a responsibility of all to try to lead our lives --
As beings striving productively, in a virtuous manner 
This is acceptable to the LORD of our lives.
As saints, we may have fallen a time or two
Nevertheless, we will rise with the knowledge 
That the deceiver has no power,
That can truly stand against us 

All Glory to God! 

He has most assuredly provided 
The Rock of Our Salvation --
To knock down those walls that confine 
And, loosed the tethers that bind!
As, we continue to believe with the strength of Faith 
Always giving thanks to the 
Saving Graces of Our Heavenly Father 

Forgetting not -- that it was He who sent 
His Only Begotten Son, 
Our Christ, Our Messiah …
Down to take up that mantle of Salvation 
Which was disguised ~ as a cross…
Built for us all right there on Calvary ~ 

This day I can stand up tall, Hallelujah and state… 
Yes! The VICTORY is mine! 
Furthermore, it belongs to you and 
All who believe it to be true! 

No matter what walls lie ahead ~
We having the gift through faith of Spirit 
Instilled within each one of us 
We can remove the walls… Hallelujah!
We can build mansions of truth…
Upon the rock of our Salvation 
Be we young or be we old

So, come on and join me 
Let us loose those binding tethers
Let us tear down the walls 
Built of hatred and destruction 
Lift up our voices, which may have seemed 
Silent for too long…

I do not know about you-- but I am on the ready
I am going to be working and shouting…
All Glory to the Lord of All Salvation --
Giving All Praise to the Heavenly Father
I believe you know you should be ready too 
If not I strongly suggest that, you do…
For He is indeed worthy of all Praise.
