No Chains

No Chains

What are the chains

that hold you down?

Why to these chains

do you feel bound?

 

Remember Paul

in prison chains? -

with utmost joy

despite the pain?

 

In faith he hoped

and did expect

deliverance...

no tears he wept.

 

He spoke the gospel

every day,

and nothing could

get in his way...

 

because his joy

came from inside,

as Christ was there

to be his guide.

 

What are the chains

that hold you down?

Remember Paul

who wasn't bound!

 

What prison tries

to keep you there?...

Remember Paul

and be aware -

 

that Christ is joy-

that Christ is gain-

there's no such thing

as prison chains!

 

 

2Corinthians 12:10..."For Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, 
                                  in persecutions, in difficulties.  For when I am weak, then I am strong."
