Long did I suffer
bound
in heavy chains
Cruel master, unrelenting
body and mind bent
Burdens impossible
to bear
life without parole
Come sweet death

offering a hand
He lifted me
offering water
He quenched my thirst
offering freedom
He broke my chains
offering life
I gave mine
Bond Servant now
to the Lord Most High
slave for life
slave by choice
His
