Being freed

Memories spring on me
I'm caught unawares
As the injustice stings
And anger returns
At the lies that were told
Cos the truth would still hurt

But you still want to heal
Old hurts that have marred
And you touch a deep place
As you soften my heart
To love again...
To let go of the past

Telling out the truth

Some thoughts
Once entertained
Can overwhelm
Distract my aim
My purpose in Christ

So I whisper to Jesus, the truth that he has shown
Through thoughts running riot & feelings opposed
Faith is always rewarded, I know

Some thoughts
Bring in even more
Slip in uninvited
Attempting to thwart
My peace in Christ

So I turn to Jesus, tell his truth out to myself
It may not be easy, but deep down I know
I can gain from his strength

It's a daily battle
My mind renewed
Trying on my own
Just does no good
My strength must be in Christ

So I talk to Jesus, remind myself what's true
And in due course I feel his power coursing through
Victory & joy in God's truth
