Chains Of Darkness Poem by Nikia Chesney

Trapped in chains of darkness,
that I cannot break;
tortured by demoniac influences,
that I can no longer take.

An end to this suffering
I could not await;
Forever bound to the shadows
must be my fate.

Just then a light penetrates
through this dank, dark hold;
The warmth spreads from my face,
to the depths of my soul.

In the light stood a man I've never seen,
but somehow knew His name;
He aproached me with love,
and I held my head in shame.

His finger tucked under my chin,
He lifted my head;
Then said 'Come unto me,
and I'll give you rest.'

With His ever flowing grace,
He has forgiven me;
Breaking my chains of darkness,
and setting me free.

Across the vastness of my sins,
far beyond the ocean of tears;
He made me a new creature,
washing away the wasted years.

Never again will I walk in darkness,
or ever be bound in chains;
For my soul has tasted freedom,
and I will never be the same!
