These Chains Around our Necks: A Psalm

Lord God Omnipotent, our Creator and Father; Immanuel, Jesus Christ our Savior and King: For how much longer will we be bound by the sins of this present darkness?

For how much longer will we suffer under the oppressive thumb of ceaseless temptation?

For how much longer shall those who have forsaken You assert their tyranny over us?

Tell me, please, why must this suffering continue? And why for so long?

But why not simply end this? Come down from Your lofty Seat of Judgment, there in the Highest Heaven! Lay waste to the masses who embrace iniquity, and even those who fail in their resistance of it - which is us all!

Yet forsake us not for the remainder of our appointed days. We, Your adoptive children, who willingly and lovingly submit to You, in-and-through Your Only Begotten Son.

Show mercy to us, and please usher us unto a land safe from the anti-Christs of this world. Let us serve You in peace for the remainder.

And, when that baited moment arrives, purify us all in Your holy flame. Then we, Your elect, shall You hold close to Your breast.

But until that moment, these chains dig into our flesh. By our necks we are bound, kept from Your service. Chains which grow heavier with each passing day, weighted hourly with new links forged by they who forsake You.

We know a time of trouble comes, for He did not come to bring peace on earth but a sword. Only sharpen our swords, then so sharp shall they be that the binding links, and those that forge them, shall tremble before You!

Christ break these chains,
Logos Prevailing.
