Alone before you I stand

disentangled

from the hooks of past

released by you

beautiful you who set me free

from my trauma, shame and fear

that you felt, you held dear

your God-strength and power

atoning, disintegrating those bonds

infusing me, making me whole

complete, new in you

my core filled with truth

I’m your child!

I’m beloved

and I stand before you

disentangled, free

to be who you made me to be

no condemnation, hiding

and running errant to be like

Before you

I’m simply me

no more, no less

and in your love

that’s all you’ve ever desired

I love you God.
