Peeks Through Clouds

An effort to brighten darkness with gentle humor and loving truth... a desire to discern both love and truth more and more clearly when I gaze toward Glory... and a spirit-name, properly descriptive, unrequested but received, my own.

For brothers & sisters in chains

Chains of iron
in a prison cell,
chains of depression,
a private hell.
Chains of addiction
and chains of grief -
Oh, Lord Jesus
bring relief!

Chains of deception
and ruined health,
chains of distraction
and even wealth -
we all need you
or there’s no peace -
Come, Lord Jesus!
Bring release!

Chains of ignorance,
chains of crime,
chains of apathy,
chains of time -
but still the Lord calls
“Follow me! For freedom
I have set you free!”
