Set Me Free

Part 1: Set me Free

Set me Free

By: Amber Johnson

Broken hearted

From those I have parted

Need to move

Beyond the past

I’m sinking fast

Two steps forward

One step back

Some days are great

Others I just can’t think straight

I get so tied up

I hit the ground face down

With nothing but a frown and a tear

Wondering if God’s near

What have I done to keep on remembering?

I just want to forget everything

I beg to forget

Has that time not come yet?

I want to be set free

But what’s not letting me?

I cry on bended knee

With all my begging pleas

To just Jesus be set free

From all that I think I miss

Does what I remember even exist?

I am so confused

I feel so bruised

From all the beatings

During the memory lane meetings

Where I fall

So far I can’t walk and stand tall

But have to crawl

To try to be by your side

Because I need a guide

A place to hide

You’ve seen what I’ve tried

You have seen how I’ve cried

Why can’t I just stay by your side

I can’t forget

Why does this always make me so upset?

Is there something I haven’t seen yet?

What do I need to learn?

So my heart doesn’t burn

With this turmoil of the past

That I wish I could just forget at last

Help me

Heal me

Hear me

Set me FREE

If you are hurting- run to Jesus and He will heal you, help you, and make you whole!
