Now I Am Free Poem by Jacob Courtney

Now I am Free

Sitting here in this pew I
Know what the preacher
Is saying is true. He shouts
Out let it go let it go, let go
Of your anger just let it go.
As I hear these words I
Know that I must go down
To the alter I must atone
For my sins. I hesitate as
Tears role down as the Lord
Lays His hand upon I know
That I must go. I fight it for
I am afraid of what maybe
Said of what I am saying.
I weep I sob and I hear the
Preacher say let it go and
I know he is talking to me.
My anger my hatred is slowly
Killing, me tearing Me apart
From within. I can not hold
It anymore I can not bare
The burden for the pain is
To great it is to much for me.
The song begins to play and
As I am standing gripping the
Back of the pew afraid to let
Go afraid to take that first step.
Then a lady near and dear turns
To me seeing the conviction
Of the Lord almighty upon me
Seeing the tears fall from me
She asks me If I want to go.
The devil tried as he might
To hold me back but I took
That first step and truly the
Rest are a blurr for next I
Know I am laying my hands
On the alter begging for
Forgiveness begging to be
Healed of my angry soul my
Hatred that buries me a
Little more each day. I laid
It all upon Him and He took
It from me He delivered me
From my sin from myself.
So fear not for your bot the
Only the be afraid the next
Time the Lord calls listen
And take that step for it maybe
The last time you ever get
To. Lay your burdens upon
Him they are not to much for
Him to bare. Thank you
Father for saving me from
Sin from death.

About this: This story is the day
I returned to serve God truly and
Whole heartedly. I had been saved
Years before but I lost my way I
Ventured in the valley's without
My shepards protection. I was
Angry at the world I carried it
On my shoulders on my back.
I let my anger and hatred consume
Me it truly was killing me a little
More each day. If the Lord is calling
You to the alter no matter Christian
Or not don't hesitate don't resist
Just take that step run if you must
I promise you that if you don't do
Just that you will truly regret it.
You never know when it will be
Your last chance to ask forgiveness
To confess your sins for today
Could be your last. God Loves
You don't let your sin separate
You from Him.
