“Slave to Love”

Too often our situation has ended, yet a smell, a building, a situation will drive up the memory holding us captive to both beautiful and bounding situations. In Christ, we are free. “You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness.” (Romans 6:18) Yet, with all of the knowledge that we posses, our freedom seems to be a distant memory.

“A Slave to Love” says that we are free and yet we don’t even know it. Slaves in our thoughts. Slaves in our minds. Slaves to love…… Yet, the master is not Jesus. Therefore, we die.

 

They were set free

And didn’t know it

 The chains were removed

 And they didn’t show it

 They stayed there

 For lack of understanding

 They never left

 Didn’t know what life was handing

 They were free

 Without a place to go

 No home, no shelter

 And nothing to show

 The door was left open

 All they had to do was leave

 But they wanted to stay

 They even grieved

 Why couldn’t they leave

 What made them stay

 Were they too rapped up

 Thought they were running away

 Like a sun refusing to shine

 And darkened by the light of day

 Run, leave this place behind

 They couldn’t, so they remained

Bound like a slave by captivity

 And mystery holding the key

 Like a slave, love is binding

 Without a defined destiny

 Needing and wanting to stay

 Wanting and needing to leave

 Hating the past influences future’s way

 Drifting between the two like a stream
