10.

fear





Strike a match and set my soul on fire


I fear the Lord,


not the snare, with their


threats to stab three knives into my heart





Bearer of the iron-sword


You alone are worthy


Engrave your truths into my skin


A fool's art seduced me


for far too long





Set me ablaze


Fire, o'freedom


My tongue will lick these flames


To burn anew for You





Rouse the lies aslumber in my bed


Beneath my feet, Your light to


Expose the wickedness of men


With their poisoned lips





Penetrate joints and marrow


Even to dividing soul and spirit



Brand me with Your sovereignty and goodness
again

For Your word is sharper than the ink of men

(Heb 4:12)
