Captivity


invisible prisoner
he came to set captives free
free from bars that may go unseen
bars that are true for all 
they are strong
and hold undefinable things inside of me
bars that go unseen
yet weigh on the heart 
Christ came to set us free
the hope of freedom one day
what about now
the making new
setting free
working through his Spirit
the active present tenses
now i must believe
he has destroyed these bars
I'm in them
not remembering
or believing this 
help me Jesus
the gate is open
I only see bars
change my heart
I'm no longer a captive
to this mind
