I watch my fetters fall
I shall find my peace
In the hands of my Lord
Heal the hearts of the poor
Open up to what we seek
In the dark our souls were groping
On our knees in prayer and hoping
May our souls be the hole
That our Father fills
With Strength to help the Meek

Most have their balls and chains
Of fear and of stress
But when Jesus comes again
You will never be the same
With His love and nothing less
In the dark our soul still calls
Release my Chains! Take my Balls!
Lift up our souls to Thee
For I know He will
Raise me from this mess
For I know he will
With Him I am blessed

I live in the great State of Mississippi, I was born in India; my father was American and my mother English. I was educated in Australia when my father was on mission to the Australian heathen and I have lived for the past 40 years in the U.S. I will be nearly 70 soon and life has traveled by in a blink. I believe greatly in the power of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ and his teaching. Amen.

	I just LOVE this poetry site. I have now found life-long friends like Daphne, Sir Allonby and Fred. I am so happy, it's like I've been re-born. I take my poetry very seriously and hope to have my own poetry book published one day, with the title - 'walking with goats'. Please read and exalt me if you deem me worthy. Thank you all.
