*THE BIRTH OF MY SALVATION*
I felt reborn I felt like a kid in my old age My mind alert yet memories of before was fading into thin air I was made into a blank slate waiting to be encrypted upon The cold night breeze jerked me back to reality My skin was pierced with hot tears as I remembered the price of my salvation on the cross Yet my heart was filled with joy of his birth The birth that gave birth to my salvation It was a silent night Where the shepherds put their head to rest at night It was in a manger At Bethlehem He was a manger born and not a high born Yet the stars moved and stood still at his birth Men traveled juz to worship him His birth gave me salvation His birth redeemed me from inner turmoil I was cursed without been cursed For the first man sinned and we pay the price until redemption I was living but dead within *_I was a living dead_* I was bound in chains because of a fruit which I never tasted I became afflicted for dealings of which I am innocent...#sniffs# Tears continued to drip It lost it's intensity yet retained it's power It became frozen with the cold night For these were tears of joy With his birth came redemption With his birth was my salvation born With salvation came freedom Bound chains became broken chains I became the living, freed from the shackles of death *No longer the living dead* © 2017 Okorie, Joshua Promise |
