Locked away

On a similar vein to the previous one.

Locked away

Like a cat waiting to pounce

Like a coiled up spring

A ball at the top of a slope

A runner on the blocks

A race car revving its engine

That energy inside

That potential locked away

Invisible and unseen

Undetected and unused

Until that moment of release

The tension builds

The pressure mounts

So much could happen

Things could go wrong

People could get hurt

People might see the real me

I look at you my church

I look at you my people

I know you intimately

I love you dearly

I know your hearts desires

I know your skills, gifts and talents

You are like that cat waiting to pounce

That coiled up spring.

I see that energy

I see your potential locked away

It can’t stay hidden from me

I gave it to you for a reason 

 

Be my church

Do my will

Do your part

Use your skills, gifts and talents

The ones I gave you, for my glory

I release you my church, my people

I will be with you every step of the way

I will comfort you

I will protect you

I will guide and lead you

I will carry you when you are weary

I release you to do all that I have planned for you.
