Free In His Presence Poem by Mantsebo Golda Motlhatlhedi (Gaojewe)

In the absence of motion
You brought me hope
Hope as I quietly listened
From within I heard His voice
A Fatherly voice to a child

All along my son, I was here
I heard your words long
Long before you moved your lips
I watched as you disobediently ignored

Your Lord, never lost hope in you
I knew a new dawn will arrive
The day where my words appeal to you
Content, you were, as you read them

You took it to heart
Acknowledged me as your God
You expected a miracle that day
You wanted to see mountains move

The skies turning clouds upside down
The grounds grumbling
Waters singing sweet melodies
The wind wildly blowing

You took my words and said yes
Realized your mistakes asked for forgiveness
Opened your heart to an endless love
All because of the blameless Lamb

A miracle is what happened within
When you turned against sinning
As you slowly moved towards your Father
A promise to never to go back to sin

Your readiness brought joy
Heaven applauded your trust in me
Faithfulness and your request
For Him to be your guide in life

The day I became new
From the ground I rose
A new being to everyone's surprise
Calmer, happiest, new self

Crystal in your eyes
Invisible to the condemner
How I love you, your words and ways
There is nothing wrong with me

I am under your influence
Influence of eternal of love
What they see in me, is You
Beautiful, isn't it?

Free in your presence
Free in your spirit
Free in your heart
Free indeed
