In my hands
My own I thought
Captured by this one
Caught up in these things
I was told would bring me joy
When none came, I was told I needed more
More I acquired, still more was needed
Closer to the goal I thought, but further I was taken
Lost and confused by things I didn’t understand
Why was it always more
Why could I not obtain
Still, on I continued to fight
Fight, for things that would bring
This thing I so desired
To bring the joy I thought was near
When deeper in sorrow
I was told end it
End it all, and be free
When I looked around me I could see
Nothing was there worth the fight
No joy was here
So yes, listen to this voice
But still another came to me
I was told to leave what was to bring joy
And was showed another source
Leave what I had worked towards
This One He now explained to me what death would surely be
He showed me the deceit in what beyond my blinded eyesI was not my own
I was not my own
but owned by sin indeed
The chains around me now were clear
The enemy was now revealed
This One He offered freedom
But how and why
I was not one to be considered worthy
Yet, He said the price was paid
He said though I’m not worthy
He would make me new
He would give me worth
Yes, He has given worth
