Poetry

Set Free

written by: alf hickey

Inside myself, I see myself
Is it wrong, or is it right ?
What is my heart, what do I seek ?
I repent, I deserve death for a murderous heart
I ask you King of Heaven to break the shackles
That which stunts freedom to worship, speak of you
I want to live and speak by your Spirit


Like Abraham, to believe in what we are promised
What is not seen
I believe your plans will prosper, not harm me
I believe you love me, I am here
And though I whinge and moan like a dying dog
Better than a dead Lion, hallelu you are alive
Please raise me Lord, from the grave now and then


You are mindful, your love and mercy overwhelm me
I am made in your image, I love me, I love others
To want to be more like you, the aim of earth
This I want for others too
The Earth can change to live with you
How did you do it Lord, obedient to death for us
Amazing love that resurrects the dead soul

Mould this mud till I breathe again
Breathe the spirit inside again
Without you I am gone though air goes in and out
Birth me anew, I want to be pure and clean
I am yours, say your will, for my ears are open
I follow you, wherever you lead
And catch me please when I fall

Jesus the saviour of Earth, true life giver
