Release The Sting

I flew in your circle to find you
Pined away hours and gasped
I struggled as a mine eyed canary
Held my breath, layed low, by an asp

No one could see I was crying
Still quiet was I, unbeknownst
To the one I thought n’er would blindside me
As I hid and felt all alone

Yet the pressure drew me closer toward heaven
God’s word, my oxygen tent
I let go and let Jesus protect me
From the enemies sting that was sent

The sting of the vipers sore venom
Was dead in it’s own rebuke
In the still, open door, a breath of fresh air
A place of warm, graceful repute

Looking for you in the circle
The choice is yours, yours alone
Releasing the sting in the moment
Almighty God reigns on the throne

The Spirit of life, love, forgiveness,
Breathes new life, the stings antidote
Hallelujah, it’s God’s Holy Spirit
Who helps us and teaches His own

Releasing the sting
