Plunged into death.
No way out,
Hopeless,
Sentenced to hard labor,
Hard lives,
Pain-filled days,
Terror-filled nights,
Too much, too much! 
 
Now numb.
Learning to pretend all is well,
Desperately trying to forget the pain,
Seeking comfort in darkness,
An uneasy truce with creatures of the night,
Drowning in fake and temporary pleasure,
Hoping to arrive safely at death.
 
A glimmer of light, 
A promise of One who will bring change, 
Freedom,
He is coming,
He who will make things right.
 
He who created all,
Stepping into the creation,
Into SKIN,
The Redeemer born,
Born to die,
So His beloved can live again!

Now I wake to life.
Restored,
Filled with light,
With God, 
True celebration,
Joy has come! 
 
Redeemer, 
Messiah, 
Emmanuel,
Grace,
Love, 
Light,
Life
JESUS!
