Torment for Wings

Deep, dark creatures, black as night
Haunt my mind and cloud my sight.
Desperate and afraid, I hide
To keep my filthiness inside.

I cannot see the light of day.
I dare not open the door.
Alone I crouch and long for peace
To quiet this screaming silence.

I strive to break this net of fear
That strangles my drowning soul.
My hands are broken, torn and bleeding.
My heart, it pays the toll.

Writhing in despair I gasp,
"This my breath, is it my last?"
A warmth behind me, gold'n soft glow.
A still, soft voice speaks, "Did you know?"

In strong embrace, with soft spoke' things
He took my hands and broke my chains.
With tender touch he loosed my net
And told me, "Wait, there is better yet."

"A man," he said, "long time ago
His love for you he would bestow
By being tried and still found true.
He died alone, in place of you."

This perfect love to me he did show
And in my heart I then did know.
He touched my soul, and set me free
To sing and praise on eagles wings.

Deep, dark creatures, black as night
No longer bind my soul in fright.
Satisfied and bold i live
'Cause all to me my Savior did give.
