We committed a capital offense~
we betrayed our Father.
We deserve death,
but a stranger
acted as our bail bond agent.
He unleashed the shackles
and gave us our walking papers.
Death was no longer
an issue, for after death,
we would live forever.
We would commune
with the One who made us.
But in exchange for
the cancelling out of our debt,
we must serve Him.
We must walk alongside Him
in life and in eternity.
We must read
the Emancipation Proclamation~
the Holy Scriptures.
We must surrender our lives
and restore our hearts to purity.
We must be servants
to the Divine Calling,
making God our Master.
We must remember:
He bought us
to set us free...
a small price to pay for
our liberation.
