Broken Chains
No chains
could hold his body,
for chains
held his mind,
his emotions,
his will,
his spirit -
chains
of darkness,
of bitterness,
of fear -
oppressed,
possessed.
He had no use
for others,
nor they
for him.
He lived
alone,
unloved
and feared.
Then Jesus came
and saw him
and loved him
and healed him.
His chains
were broken,
oppressed
no more,
possessed
no more.
Lord Jesus,
you see
the chains that bind -
in you
we are set free!
