Chained for God


Heart battered by sin, soul chained to the fire,
I once dwelled in a cave fueled by evil desire.
With every misdeed, the chains at my feet
Tightened with sorrow, seared by execrable heat.

A flower that fades, a wave tossed away,
I stumbled and strove, heralding dismay.
Lost in the world, I deceived and lied,
And in my confusion, I cried out:

"Take my chains, Lord, crush them in Your hands.
Raise me from the darkness, light my way with Your commands.
Teach me how to love, Lord, open my eyes anew.
Fill my spirit with wisdom; let my life be chained for You."


The peace of Christ Jesus entered my heart,
With His warm protection, I embarked on a new start.
The chains of my past, those fragments of sin,
No longer bind me—I've found joy within.

The love of my Savior lifts me up high,
I'll live for the cross until the day I die.
The power of His presence gives me no fear
To share His Word and comfort every tear.
