Lord, You came to save us,
to free the captives, to throw
off our chains of bondage,
I pray to You now, this minute,
to forgive me, to save me,
Raise me from the pit,
this world of darkness,
Set me on the path, the way,
You have written for my life…
I see these words of the prophet,
words of Your commission,
the power of God’s Spirit,
as You walked this earth,
I long to know You more fully,
to love You more deeply,
to sense You with me always,
today, right now, this minute,
to follow more fully, the path,
Your calling for my life…
Lord, raise me from the pit,
from my prison, my past, this earth,
Open my heart for all of You, my hope,
Your love come down, the victory,
You have already won, joy,
abounding, overflowing, abundance,
Lift the chains I have carried,
for most of my life, the way,
that I have traveled, change me,
Set me on the path, the way,
You have written for my life…
