I had so much going on that I just didn't know
How to open up and let the praises flow
See, life had me in a chokehold and I felt I was going down
Because no matter how I tried to praise Him, I couldn't muffle a sound
I had done many things that wasn't pleasing to My Father
And I felt I was unworthy to come to him as a daughter
And just when I wanted to give up, I heard a voice say
Break the chains of your mind and give Me an unshackled praise
Get out of the dungeon and the prison you're in
And praise Me for your breakthrough, then watch Me send
An earthquake to shake the foundation so your shackles can be loosed
Because I can't have you bound, there's too much work for you to do
Now free yourself and don't worry about who you use to be
For I chose you and called you and I set you free
I never see your yesterday's, I only see what's ahead
Don't you know what I invested in you, My Blood was shed
So let go of everything, move froward and don't look back
Now give Me an Unshackled Praise and I'll meet you where you're at

Written June 2006. I had to learn to really let go and let God. This period was right after the separation. God spoke to me and gave me this poem and I love Him for shaking me up.
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful, Cantrice. A real gift from God, and you to me. Tears of joy filled my eyes, as I realized that, tho He gave it to you, He meant it also for me. God bless you, so much! Keep it up! :)
ReplyDeleteCantrice ... I agree with Pam that God has truly gifted you, and your poems are awesome; well spoken Words straight from our Heavenly Father's heart to share with the world. I think we have all been in that place called prison, the prison in our own mind, but the devil lies to make us think the prison door is locked, but it never was locked because he does not hold the key .... the key to opening that prison door is giving our all to GOD to let him be GOD in our lives. I personally think that our Praise and Worship are the highest gifts we give our Heavenly Father, next to obedience, because these are all things we choose to do! Our sacrifices of Praise are truly honored by our loving Heavenly Father! Thank you so much for being the yielded vessel that you are for God's Glory and sharing the gifts that God has placed inside you for us to enjoy! Isn't it awesome that God works a work in you, then touches your heart to share it in a poem to bless so many others !
