Amazing Grace

Chains of steel hold me here among lost hopes and dreams. Pain is real and ever clear,
it has no desire of leaving.

I wonder how I made it to where I am as the chains grow colder around my feet, showing no compassion as I cry out to be free.

A mindset of immortality no longer lingers in my mind, instead deaths door is what I find.
My past is written on the walls all around, constantly reminding me of what i've done.
Terrified I scream and cry, burring my face in my hands. I call out into the darkness and plead for light.

Sitting here, alone and scared, all I and hear is the sound of my own heart beating.

Then a feeling.

Suddenly I feel warmth throughout my body as I hear my chains hitting the floor. A rush of un-controleable emotion hits me as I realize....

I stand to my feet, hesitant. Then sure.

 I open my eyes to see that the darkness has fled and the once oppressive room has been painted red.
I look towards the heavens as I had a thousand times. My cries have been heard by an Almighty King and my sins are no longer recognized.


"My chains are gone, i've been set free. My God my Savior has ransomed me.
And like a flood His mercy rains.
Unending love. Amazing Grace."
