Thankful for Breaking Free

Shaking hands
pounding heart
could this really be the start

the moment where it all was washed away
the moment so long that I have prayed
and hoped for every day
no way
and yet as every reason is swept aside
my heart no more may hide

but bursting with hope
with a word and a note
to go and to do this thing
a covenant to God to bring

myself and all of me
no longer to selfishly be
but every day try
to find the why
in what each day can hold
and how God my spirit can mold

and so I chose and on three I went
hands shaking, nerves spent
and as I stood and waited to see
the line in front of me
others giving their lives for God
in darkness no longer to trod
but to always go and be
a child, full and free

and now
empowered by the moment of newness
the moment of you and me
Lord I feel
the way you want me to see

thank you for helping me
to finally break free.

"But now that you know God—or rather are known by God—"
Galatians 4:9b
