NO LONGER

by: Grace E Easley

As quick as a prayer can bring Him,
He answers my call for aid,
And doors that were locked swing open,
And I am no longer afraid.

No evil has power to touch me,
As long as I am His own,
And placing my feet in His footprints,
I find I'm no longer alone.

He shows me the wisdom of patience,
Consoles when the going is rough,
And pleasures that used to entice me,
Are strangely no longer enough.

With Him I find a completeness,
Fulfilling my dearest hope,
He lends me His shoulder to lean on,
When I can no longer cope.

The joy that surrounds His presence,
Enriches me greater than gold,
His gentle hands lift the burden,
That I can no longer hold.

He dresses the wounds of my spirit,
Inflicted at such a cost,
He reaches for me through the darkness
And I am no longer lost.

For I am the captive He ransomed,
The reason for which He came,
And touched by His infinite mercy,
My heart is no longer the same.

Born without any possessions,
What care I when these be gone,
For I belong to the Master,
And I am no longer my own!
