Captive

I am captive 

In your love

It is strong like nothing else 

I run to you with my fear 

My sadness 

I am not alone 

Your loving arms

Hold me tight 

Like nothing and no one else can

My hiding place 

My comfort 

In you I find my rest

I belong to you

When I look to you I cry

“Abba, Father.”

And you answer

I feel your love

When I can’t feel anything else 

You are my port in the storm 

My safe space where I can create 

Without fear of the brutal world 

I am protected 

Your spirit is with me always 

In my pain 

In my distress 

My disappointment 

You are there

Making all things new

And beautiful 

Peaceful 

And quiet 

Here

Captive in your embrace
