From the Pastor

arsh words, harsh people, have made you feel real small

Self-worth, self-love, and self-esteem, don't even exist at all

Frustration, fears, and secret pains, you try to lock inside

You put up fronts and you masquerade,just so you can hide

You internalize the wretched cries, you just want to fit in

You're afraid to fight with all your might, you feel you'll never win

Your moods sway, you push love away, you feel no one suffers like you

And when you feel good, you don't think you should, hence the cycle starts anew

Friends and loved ones have burned you, you've no one to turn to, you feel you alone should be blamed

You're distressed and oppressed, and always upset, and you always feel ashamed

But now we who have Christ need not sacrifice, the joyous life He gives

The spirit reminds us, to put Satan behind us, we have victory for Jesus lives

His love will heal you, releasing the real you, as your burdens roll away

And although you're mistreated, you're never defeated, so escape your invisible prison today.
