It's Because of You

It’s because of You my chains fall.
Love, joy, peace, in You I find it all.
I want to let my hair run free.
To not care if anyone sees.
I want to jump, leap, and shout…
To be released of all doubt.
From You I ran,
but no more.
In You I can.
You are Lord.
I can dance around,
Not caring if I fall on the ground.
I can let my hair fly proudly.
I can sing loudly,
Not caring if I sing off key.
I can be wild and free.
I can because of You.
I’m letting go.
In the wind my fears, doubts, and worries blow.
I’m releasing it all.
I know sometimes I’ll fall.
But I know You will be with me.
Even if You are all I see,
That’s okay with me.
I can because of You.
I no longer have to hold back,
I can give it all and not lack,
Because I have You.
Nothing else even matters.
In You I am new.
I can because of You.
I can proclaim Your name.
I cannot be the same,
Because of the impact You’ve had on my life.
No longer am I captive to lies and strife.
I can shout of Your praise,
To You my arms will raise.
I have redemption,
And Your forgiveness that You mention.
I have all that I need,
In You. God, take the lead.
I can because of You.

Last March I wrote a post about Freedom in Christ and I wrote this poem probably around a year or more ago. To me this poem is a picture of a girl who is free in Christ and lives for Him. That's the girl I want to strive to be. We can have freedom in Christ.
Jesus was put in chains so that we could be set free; died so that we could live. We just have to accept His free gift of love.

Galatians 5:1, "Christ has liberated us to be free. Stand firm then and don’t submit again to a yoke of slavery. "

John 8:36, "Therefore, if the Son sets you free, you really will be free."
