Unchained

Help me!  I’m lost.
So many reckless decisions,
Without counting the cost.

Boxes, boxes…I’m all locked in.
Please release me;
I want to be free again.

Forgiveness, please find me.
Reach in and save this child,
Who desperately needs thee.

Rags for riches…a joke?
But rags are all I have;
I’m emotionally broke.

The world caves in…I sink.
Make it all better;
You can, You know, in a blink.

Hey, God…do you care?
Please give me a sign
That You’re really there.

Blessings abound, oh can it be,
That You heard my cry,
That You rescued me?

Chains released…prisoner no more.
Spreading my wings,
Thanks to you, I can soar.
