Soul Dance

In a darkened place, in a box closed tight

So many things kept out of sight

And some would say it’s for the best

To not unlock the treasure chest

But my heart and soul cannot agree

For they’re dancing in the light

And it would be cruel to return them to

Their prison, due to fright

For what is fright but fear of that

We haven’t known before

And how can we expect to grow

If new truth we ignore

The things that our souls know are true

Are valid, vital, real

And I can’t go a squandering

The deep delight I feel

I totally refuse to take

A step back into hiding

But stand up tall with head held high

In heavenly love abiding

Oh yes, you thought that I’d forgot

Or fallen far away

Yet he’s the keeper of my heart

My soul, my life, my way.

And He delights in freedom

For it was His idea

I’ll dance through heaven’s hallways

Where life and love are clear

For it was His design, His plan

He doesn’t turn his face

But celebrates my freedom

Holds me in His embrace

Held lovingly, in Father’s arms

I cry “How great thou art”

For He designed, created me,

And always holds my heart.

Always, no matter what befalls

Forever without fail

For He’s the author of my dance

The wind within my sail

The vastness of my God is more

Than I could ever tell

And in His word it states that He

Created all things well.

That’s me, that’s you, created well!

By God’s designer hand

No errors and no second best

But by the Master planned

And so I dance, for in this truth

I find release and might

For if I trust that God made me

He must have done it right!!

Hallelujah!
