FREE BORN
Julie Reeves c.1986

"Thou shalt not!"
Is what I hear,
From those in chains
Of doubt and fear.

I see them tremble,
And sense their rage
At my freedom
A war they wage.

 I linger and listen
Pressed by guilt.
Their lies I ponder.
My hope wilts.

A hand on my shoulder
Bids me see
the eyes of my Father
Who made me free.

I see His love
In Christ, His Son,
Crucified, dying
For me. It’s done.
