“Heart Cry”

Deliver me Oh God from this bondage, I’m tired of being enslaved
Being held captive in the matrix Oh God, I ask for your grace. 

Free me from the captors that seem to hold me so tight
Tormenting thoughts surrounding both day and night. 

To be free is all I ask why does it seem so hard?
In my flesh I am weak I don’t know where to start. 

You hear my cries for freedom- You feel all my pain.
A deliverer is coming and Yeshua is His name. 

Only He can free me from this wretched body of sin
Only He can touch me and make my heart new again.

 So let your healing power flow through my life
Liberty from the lies that hold my mind in strife. 

I surrender all to You – every sin and every doubt
Wash me and love me – cleanse me within and without. 

The light at the end of the tunnel I can now see
Why have I waited so long? Oh how good it is to be free! 

Pour out your love oh my Abba, let me see your face.
Wrap your arms around me, I want to feel your sweet embrace. 

Hold me, love me, never let me go
Be the center of my life – ruler of my soul.  

It’s a new beginning, my past is gone away,
It’s a new season, the birthing of a new day.  

I commit my life to You – fresh and anew
This time it is forever I will always be true. 

Fcr your love is my security, your mercy new every morning.
Your power flowing through me, I give you all the glory. 

Oh my Jesus I love you, I am here to stay
I know you will guide me each and every day. 

My HEART belongs to YOU!

“NO MORE” 

A preacher screams, “You’re going to hell”

The people shout and run to the altar

Repent, repent but they forget to tell

Of how to stand in the word and not to falter.

They are told what to say and what to wear

Man’s guidelines full of tradition

Blinding the eyes of those who hear

Dumbly they walk into the grips of religion

Tired of pounding pulpits with no power to display

Standing with heads held low in condemnation

Walking in their weakness day after day

Living a life full of frustration

“There must be more – this is not enough”

“God help us – we are ready for change”

We need to experience a true touch

Help us to get rid of this shame.

Shift us – Change us Give us more of You

We cry out to be free

No longer will we be fooled

Open our eyes so we can see.
