I don’t live there anymore
My past no longer
my dwelling place
The shadows no longer
my hiding place
I encountered Love
I encountered Light
I tasted a glimpse of my
eternal life
I could never go back to
my past
I know pain
I know betrayal
I know rejection
You name it,
every dark word
I once lived
For too long I dwelled among
the tombs of religion
Where dead men dwell
The signs of stagnation
were obvious
Clinging to my fears
Hiding behind tears
I held on to regret and
mistakes
Held on to bitterness
My heart enslaved
Everyone could see my
past on my face
Till that day the veil was removed
How amazing to dwell in
the presence of the Father
To hear His voice every
second of the day
Guiding, leading and
teaching me
Oh’ I love how gently His
love erased my past
Every challenge Papa
turned into training
Preparing me for my calling
The difficult processes
unknowingly taught me
to rule and to reign
Trained by Holy Spirit my
best Friend and Helper
Nothing came close to hiding
in the shadow of my Father
I thought I would die in bondage
That my heart was beyond repair
But Papa resurrected
my heart
and my life
I could never go back to
my past
Now that I have encountered
the Love of my life!
My life an open book
Of an imperfect person
Who serves a perfect God
He paid a high price
To show me my worth
I cannot be contained
Or boxed
Or Made still
I have to testify about my
love for my Father!!
