Chains That Blind

By Mark Bishop

Blinded by my wants
Lost in my desire
An evil king lay siege my heart
His forces never tire

So distorted my vision
So deluded my soul
That I've mistaken for a means
The love given to make me whole

Oh what joy would be mine
If I could see He's love divine
Not a hook I use to catch a fish
Not a genie I ask to grant a wish

For then I could live satisfied
and stand no more on wounded pride
always lose yet ever gain
love instead of casting blame

God my whole life I've been a slave
Savior remove these chains I crave
Rabbi teach me how I can live free
Jesus, please touch my eyes 
I long to see
