I was shackled by time I was shackled by sin I was shackled from within Each day finding no way to win I was shackled by my friends No encouragement from my kin Then crying out, please God unshackle me An incredible peace came in I could not see I fell to my knees in great surprise Streams of tears flowing from my eyes Hearing of God and what he had done for others Years ago, I heard of Jesus from my Mother Never in a million years thought he would have time for me Now Praising and thanking Him every day on bended knee 2Ti 2:9Â Â for which I am suffering even to the point of being shackled like a criminal. But God's word is not shackled. January 25, 2023 Mark Waldrop
