Untitled

Let's surrender, lay down, and give up, shall we?
   all the sentiments and considerations
       of self-loathing, contempt, and slavery.
Depress, repress, expel
   every poisonous thought
       that plagues your mind and steals your joy.

Be free, oh, soul, of your many constraints
   Shine your light, dance in the sun, embrace the moon
       Breathe not the stale air of your prison any longer

Fall down, collapse on the Rock
   He will crush you; you will shatter
       You will break...but aren't we broken already?
Awaking, you will find His breath in your lungs
   your chains are dust at your feet
   and you mind clear of the crowding, competing, noisy thoughts
        that shackled you to the fog of paralyzing depression

So be free, oh, soul, of your many constraints
    Shine your light, dance in the sun, embrace the moon
        Breath not the stale air of your prison any longer

Lift, elevate, raise up your eyes
    Up to the mountains, see your Savior
    Hear His song cascading into your valley of hopelessness.
