Below is a poem/song that I wrote. It was meant to be a song..but I don't have a tune or music for it yet. So it's just a poem right now I guess. Maybe someday it'll be more.
~~~~~~~~~
Awaken me from this sleep so I can live. That I may truly live for you.
Open my eyes and take the shutters away. Clear out the distractions that pop up in my view.
I'm done feeling closed in and chained, when I'm a bird set free and meant for the sky.
So I'm leaving my cage at the foot of the cross where Grace and Mercy meet Faith and I'll fly.
God, You set me free like I was meant to be. I can taste a little bit of heaven when You are near.
And this feeling's so divine.
Your peace and love are so sublime.
The universe is in Your hands so everything is fine.
I've been walking in a world so dark.
But You're the light switch on this lonely heart.
Suddenly there is light and I see the world in color.
I used to be frozen solid in the past.
Felt like I'd be here 'till I breathed my last.
But then You lifted off this masquerade mask and told me that's not who I am.
Now I can finally move again.
God, You set me free like I was meant to be. I can taste a little bit of heaven when You are near.
And this feeling's so divine.
Your peace and love are so sublime.
The universe is in Your hands so everything is fine.
I no longer have to be stuck in a maze.
Or sit around like I'm in a daze.
I no longer have to close my eyes.
Or give in and listen to the devil's lies.
My chains are gone and I am free.
The doors and windows are open in front of me.
The lights are on and I'm alive.
All because Jesus Christ has saved my life.
