Wait!
I don't apologise for what you see in me
It might seem I'm all the people that have hurt you before
But I'm not
I'm me
I forgive you for hurting me
I want to speak freely with you
We're not enemies
I don't judge you
Because of all the things I've done worth condemnation
Obliterated by freedom
To easily forgotten by those
Who find the gift hard to swallow

Psalm 32

Blessed is he
whose transgressions are forgiven,
whose sins are covered.
Blessed is the man
whose sin the Lord does not count
against him
and in whose spirit is no deceit.
When I kept silent,
my bones 'washed' away
through my groaning all day long.
For 'night and day'
your hand was heavy upon me;
my strength was sapped
as in the heat of summer.
Then I acknowledged my sin to you,
and did not cover up my 'iniquities'
I said, "I will confess
my transgressions to the Lord"
X2
and you forgave
the guilt of my sin.
Therefore let everyone who is godly
pray to you
while you may be found;
surely when the mighty waters rise,
they will not reach him.
You are my hiding-place;
you will protect me from trouble
and surround me with songs of
deliverance.
I will instruct you and teach you in the
way you should go;
I will counsel you and watch over
you.
Do not be like the horse or the mule,
which have no understanding
but must by controlled by bit and bridle
or they will not come to you.
Many are the woes of the wicked,
but the Lord's unfailing love
surrounds the man who trust in
him.
Rejoice in the Lord and be glad, you
righteous;
sing, all you who are upright in heart!
When I kept silent,
(Be strong)
my bones 'washed' away
(and take heart)
through my groaning all day long.
(All you who hope in the Lord)
For 'night and day'
X2

Freedom
02:50

Rivers flow and stone erodes but running won't stop you
Time slows and the clock shouts ticks about the house
Yes and no's don't slow her goals
ignorance devours the soul
And running just won't stop you
While she remains I enjoy being held
Convoluted pain beautiful once unfurled
There's time to air out your whines
It's a freedom both yours and mine
Wood blocks clip clop
Working men chop
Words stain the wood of a majestic desktop
but justice is still not quite found
A blind man walks on hot coals
Trying to get out
But eyes opened now how clearly he does see
to indulge in this mystery
puts a stop to dis-ease
Exposes him to the rays of a new sun
He's says
accepting wise advice brings abundance to this life
Yet sometimes I'm tired and my thoughts leak out
swallowing pride to leave what's dead behind
Hands mend and sew
Bend
Exhibit woe
And shake together slow
While it lasts, they enjoy being held
While it lasts, their roof's the top of their world
While it lasts, their yelps are shouts of freedom
And in that freedom we've learnt sing
the tank wobbles
building pressure busts a blood vessel
While the children are rustling
empty sweet wrappers
Losing interest in their current matters
Picking wild flowers now
Eating fresh lemons their mothers
Heart is proud
It's here at last, they again enjoy being held
No longer masked, their is no top of their world
Oh at lasts, the yelps and shouts of freedom
And in that freedom we've learnt sing
