Bondage – v2

Seeking approval,
Human judgement,
Enslaved, a prisoner,
In bondage of our spirit,
Destroyed our own lives…
 
Needing to let go,
No longer seeking approval,
Raising our eyes to heaven,
Seeking approval, praise,
From God above…
 
Lost days, years,
Chasing earthly treasure,
Seeking approval in this life,
Reward from our peers,
From broken clay…
