Lord's Release

Releasing all of my hurt and pain so that I can be free,
Closing my eyes, but I can still see,
For the Lord is my guardian, my eyes,
Directing me through the darkness and its lies.
Repairing my broken heart so that it will continue to beat,
As he lifts my head high and brushes away my defeat.
Standing, with arms open wide,
He absorbed the world’s pain and swept our sins aside.
Remembering his sacrifice, I offer him my whole,
As his purification cleanses my soul.
Trusting completely in his amazing power,
As he sweetens the very life that can be so sour.
Drying each tear that attempts to fall from my eyes,
As he quiets my worry and cries.
No love as incessant or unconditional as his,
Feeling the very touch of his power, knowing it can’t get any better than this.
Each breath I breathe is of his creation, his love,
As he watches us use it, from his kingdom above.
Although we pollute his creation with our selfishness,
He excuses it, and lets us parade in his intended bliss.
Forever and always, he has my heart,
And each chapter of my life he reveals with a joyous start.
Releasing all of my hurt and pain so that I can be free,
Closing my eyes, but I can still see,
For the Lord is my guardian, my shepherd, my all.
