I went against all I knew to be right and true

And my soul fell

Under the scent of sin.

Withdraw your hand from me-

You monster that tries to steal my joy…

and faith.

What right do you have to enter into my being?

I do not belong to you-

For I am free of this bondage!

Let me be.

Set me free.

Untie the knots from my insides and around my heart.

Replace them with petals of purity

And the scent of peace

Let love win…not hate.

For it is what I’ve brought upon myself.

Oh guilt, 

Release me!

For I have held onto you long enough.

Oh Grace,

Enter into my soul!
