Caught

The Ballad of the Spinning Wheel. Part 4  Caught

Those nameless controlling drives 
that hell has fashioned here
I stand before him lost in love 
my mind it’s simply clear.
I simply cannot understand 
what power has been wrought
And yet I know that deep within 
this saviours work I’m caught 
Not in the fancies of human thought 
nor educated reason
I have been set free from guilt and grief, 
and all eternal treason.  

My fate before and past are now 
just lost in mists of time
The grief I knew has found no place 
in the future uphill climbs
He stands with me and I with him 
the towns folk quite upset
You tell them what I’ve done for you, 
catch them, use my loving fishing net 

He whispers in my heart a word 
that keeps me free from harm
Your safe he says your kept he says 
I hold you in my palm.
I’ll speak with you, you’ll hear my voice, 
evil cannot control
This freedom that I give to you 
is yours for you to hold.
