Constraints & restraints

Fences
Humans attempt to control
Nature ignores
Pushing against the constraints
Determined to be free

Help me always push against
The illusionary restraints
Society tries so desperately
To impose

Help me think for myself
My Creator as my only guide
Using His authority
Invested in me

Help me never forget
I am a mountain mover
A boundary bulldozer
A chain breaker

Nothing is impossible
So let my faith far exceed
That contained in a tiny
Mustard seed

Boldly, without fear
I will walk in mercy and grace
Holding onto God’s promise
I am not defined by my mistakes
