freedom
hope for my heart
which has been longing
for a breath of truth
it came to deep parts of me
acknowledged and spoken into
your Spirit broke through
and caused tears
when nothing else was adequate
tears fell, expressing more
than any words could
I no longer have to lay in defeat
of an enemy that holds me
to lies that have no power
i need my response to be different
calling on a God who has
put his shield of truth
his righteousness
and secured me in his salvation
and offers me truth to defend against lies
has brought me peace which carries me
wherever my feet shall your peace follows
he has given me faith which protects
and his Spirit inside which penetrates
with all these things I'm found
yet the defeated enemy
continues to come hard to me
through means far beyond my control
seeking to defeat and destroy
he has come to steal, kill, and destroy
through ways I wouldn't expect
anything to pull me from abundant life
a life which is free and secure
as things continue
help me to see your hand
as bigger and victorious
nothing escapes you or is to great for you
you are the great victor whom walks with us
