Calvary painted love's picture for me.

ABANDON

 

I chuckle, I laugh and feel freedom’s song

With abandon I say what I think

I felt so rejected, and ached for so long

My self esteem right at the brink

 

Tired of being tethered to rules

That I had not chosen to follow

Instead of feeling precious, like jewels

A shell within, I’d become hollow

 

With every action or word that I spoke

I felt I had to be anxious

To watch what I did in order to cope

Or the boss of me would get fractious

 

Then I met you friend, and you saw

Me with all that I had to offer

That even with every speckle and flaw

Great potential and gifts I could proffer

 

Because you said that I was unique

And caused the laughter to break through

I feel that now I have the technique

And the sun in my life, dear, is you

 

You are the Son of righteousness, Lord

With healing in wings, you have risen

Your mercy, my friend, I could never afford

For you’ve opened the doors of my prison

 

Peace, joy and love, and oh, so much more

Are now mine just for the taking

I know there is something so special in store

For I am of your own making

 

So, I dance and I sing and frolicking, twirl

Moving with you, my own lover

You’ve captured my soul, my heart’s in a whirl

As my freedom, I slowly recover.
