Saviour, why do we,
Who claim we are Believers,
Seem scarcely to believe that
You can truly set us free from
Life's enslaving snares?
Why do we,
Who call You Lord and Master,
Resist the liberating truth that
We are only fully free when Mastered by Your love?
With prison doors thrown wide,
We gaze toward freedom's light,
Yet huddle in our cells of
Self and sin, guilt and fear,
Tied to earth' concerns..
Does this amaze even You, Lord?
