You Can'T Tie Me Down

In spite of any deformities or disabilities
I know that the Lord Our God is watching over me
And the more I realize who I was meant to be
The more I try to hide behind my inabilities
You can't tie me down I now comprehend
That God is only looking at the heart that lays within

I no longer fall prey to those false accusations
That I'm only a product of my environmental situation
You can't tie me down for I am not my mother
I'm a child of God like no other
You can't tie me down so don't use my neighbourhood
To define me as someone who is not any good

Now bold enough to tell the world you can't steal my joy
And not allowing the insecure to use words that can destroy
Breaking down cycles of generational guilt and shame
Now free to function in Jesus the Christ name
You can't use an IPhone if you're stuck on a pager mentality
You're a child of the living God so go claim your victory
You can't tie me down for through Christ I've been set free
Like that untamed colt that Jesus rode towards His destiny

Now I comprehend that God has a master plan
And I may be in a hold pattern until He moves His hands
For God has something in store for me and I need to learn to wait
It might be uncomfortable and it might seem too late
But i just can't lose my faith nor do I need to know the reason
That God will move me when it's my season
And if someone is envious of your blessings and status with Christ
Tell them to get over themselves and go get a life

God will untie and unbind you from whatever is holding you down
He will put His plan in action to elevate you to higher ground
So don't worry about the naysayers, the haters and the critics
Keep your eyes on God by walking in the Spirit
You can't tie me down for through Christ I now clearly see
That God has a great plan for my destiny
You can't tie me down
