CHAINS:

I wonder then, I wonder how
My past at work, my past here now
Twice as many, tombs of gold
Past the relics, names of old

To my side comes one in chains
From my heart, gone, remains
Where and when am I to be
Fondly tests insanity

One by one they all retreat
Facing giants they can't defeat
Is it not an ancient curse
This ritual pain we all rehearse

Take my hand, lift me up
Take this thorn, this crown, this cup
I am here with work to do
My job, my life, to die for you.

A magnificent writing packed with insight. Jesus has given all.  Our best we can return is to believe it and live that belief.  Thank you for sharing this.

Sylvia,
  "I am here with work to do
My job, my life, to die for you."

This is our key to eternal life, not a life to be returned but to remain with Jesus and our Heavenly Father in eternity's bliss. Keep casting off the chains, we all must remember to do this. Praise His Holy Name. marcy

Our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.
