"Chains, Be Broken"

with no joy the desert loses what little it has left
of waiting
for rain
as sure as the sun moving through the sky
upon the land
drying drops of rain
before they reach the ground
i fall to my knees
i rise to my knees
chains, be broken

with joy we move and let our hearts be delivered
from personal pains and fears
as sure as the starlight reaches the horizon and further
it is time to rise as we fall
chains, be broken

the God of second of a thousand changes
speaks life into the tree
one leaf one root at a time
chains, be broken
healing the broken heart takes time
healing the unsure might takes time
to acknowledge
but in my life, when He knew i would claim Chains, Be Broken
he responded
the first day i drew breath, he answered and said yes
of course
Chains, Be Broken
