They led me to my destruction

My sin, the chains, the yoke,
the shame that I carry
They led me to my destruction
to separation from God and man…
 
No matter the sins against me
the deep hurt within me
Even my false resentment
my anger against our God…
 
All within me is broken,
save for God’s Spirit within me,
My pain, my selfishness
have led me to destruction…
 
Only in giving up control
my autonomy, my agency to You,
I can only be healed
If I submit my life to You…
