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!

Who is Your Physician?

Who is Your Physician?

Who is your Physician? What are you using to heal yourself? What are you trying in order to stop the pain? Is it working for you? Jesus is the Great Physician. Jesus is the healing to every pain to every hurt and sadness. He is the solution, the aid, the love, and the unending help. Jesus is the answer! No matter how broken, how hurt, how lonely, how lost, how hollow, how confused, ...whatever your condition; Jesus saves and heals. Cry out to Him in all your pain and all your need and He will answer. He will hold you through your tears, He will wipe them away, and He will give you love to last, truth to stand on, and hope for a grand present and future. The Lord Jesus created the heart you feel is broken and He can just as easily fix it. Pray for understanding, help, hope, love, and a deeper brighter relationship with Christ. The closer you are to the heart of the one who made you and died for you, the closer you will be to heaven on earth, penetrating healing, wisdom in difficult situations, encompassing peace, and to becoming more like the Lord God Almighty. Run to Jesus first, cry to Jesus from the depths of your pain, trust Him to heal and help you! Know that Jesus deeply and unendingly loves you and wants to help you!

"... for I am the LORD, who heals you."- Exodus 15:26


"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."- John 3:16

Leave the Past Behind

Leave the Past Behind

By: Amber Johnson

Do you dwell on the past

allowing those memories to last?

How do you feel?

Do you think it helps you deal?

Or are you just not letting yourself heal?

The sin you try to conceal

And only the righteousness reveal

What does that do to you

who ends up being untrue?

What are you putting yourself through?

Just living like you used to

Taking those memories and letting them override

Does that allow you to abide

In the Christ who is supposed to be inside

Don’t dwell in the past

But in the present stand fast

For Christ erased the old

So the present you could hold

Take every thought captive

So that here and now you can live
