A prisoner and a slave
Confined by guilt and shame
A slave to the past
Chained to my grave
Lost in a lost world
Which cares nothing for me
But the cross of grace
Of mercy, hope, and of love
Leads me to freedom
Found by Lord Jesus Christ
Forever in His Kingdom
Chosen, loved and free
Sin is about self, and the selfish lifestyle leads to self-harm and death. Love is about God and others, and the loving lifestyle blesses both lover and beloved.
Obedience to God is a language of love – we obey His law out of love for the lawgiver.
– inspired by a talk by Carl Smith of Know Him to Show Him
