My Chains Are Gone!

My chains are GONE!
My debt is PAID!
My life is WHOLE!
All Because of that very special thing Christ did on that crooked cross I like to call the mercy tree.

My chains are gone, because He broke them!

My debt is paid, because He loves me.

My life is Whole, because He is the giver of life!

On a hill called Calvary
There stands an endless mercy tree
Every broken weary soul
Find your rest and be made whole

Stripes of blood that stain its frame
Shed to wash away our shame
From the scars, pure love released
Salvation by the mercy tree

In the sky between two thieves
Hung the blameless prince of peace
Bruised and battered, scarred and scorned
Sacred head pierced by our thorns “It is finished,” was His cry
The perfect Lamb was crucified
His sacrifice, our victory
Our Savior chose the mercy tree!

Death Has died and Love has won!
Hallelujah
Jesus Christ has overcome!

I wanted to share this because it's an example of of the victory we have through Christ! This "poem" has a piece of the song Mercy tree in it, by Anthony Evans!

We aren't defined by our sins after we accept Christ, we are made new! Our chains have been broken and our sin has been paid for! Stop living like you're just a sinner and start living like you are Child of God!

2 Corinthians 5:17
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.

Defining yourself by sin, is only going to make you stumble more!
Yes we are still sinners but no, that is not our definition anymore! We are saved through the blood Christ shed for us on that tree a few thousand years ago!

Romans 5:7-9
For one will scarcely die for a righteous person though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God.

Accept the forgiveness you asked God for and the forgiveness He graciously gave you! Accept it, live it, and cherish it! You are a child of the most High!

1 John 3:1
See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are.”
