It is morning, oh Father
I am wrapped in the dark
You painted the dawn
But my night stands stark.
The bird sings clear and true
In the tree ouside
But I am deaf today
And only want to hide.
Jesus is standing at my door
His arms are reaching in
I am locked away for now
A prisoner of my sin.
He whispers into my soul
His blood runs under the door
Scarred hands pressing upon it
His love piercing to my core.
In my grief and pain
The enemy has bound me
But he cannot keep me here
Because I was given the key.
Find your voice, oh soul
There is an ache inside your heart
Cry out for the Rescuer
Whose love is stronger then you are.
Breaking through hardened strongholds
My ransom has been paid
And my soul is set apart
For the plans He has laid.
No longer a captive
No longer am I in eternal night
Jesus sacrificial life blood
Brought into the light.
Thank you for paying my ransom
Thank you for holding me near
From prisoner self inflicted
To your child so dear.
I am free today
Held in the Saviour’s love
Never to be a prisoner here
But to walk in heaven above.
A ransomed captive
An heir of the King
Daughter and princess
My broken heart I bring.
In its captivity
I found Your sincere grace
Forgiven, though undeserving
You wiped the tears from my face.

Beautiful, Wendy.
“Breaking through hardened strongholds
My ransom has been paid
And my soul is set apart
For the plans He has laid.”
Amen! Watch this unfold as His Grace multiplies in the brokenness within you that He is redeeming and making whole in Him our Perfect Love! Praise be to our Lord and Saviour!!!
