| “Arise, My love, you’re free!”
His whispered words awoke
Hope as He said to me
“Rise from the dust — your chains are broke!”
Enslaved for all my life
By chains of fear and doubt.
Oppressed by pain and strife,
To Jesus I cried out
“Save me, Lord — Redeem me!”
“Fear not, My child, I’m here –
I’ll give you eyes to see…
And wipe away each tear.”
“Cast your cares on Me, Love
Because I care for you.”
Amazed, I looked above –
It seemed too good to be true.
His words came out like thunder –
“For you I chose to die.”
I gazed on Him with wonder
“You died for me… But why?”
“You are precious in My sight,
My own special treasure.
My love exceeds all heights…
I love you beyond measure.”
As He speaks His love for me,
My heart overflows with love…
I think about His beauty
And the wonder of His love! © 2012 Cheryl A. Showers |

| What an awesome little quatrain. I love the way you included dialog in this one. It really strengthens the message that way. Nice work! |
