FREEING THE BONDED

Cast into prisons
man making man
causing suffering
enslaving by law
bonded by force.

(Once by choice
using of the nail
as the sign given
covenants made
bonded by honor.)

Never to realize
acts and service
needed by each
lost embracing
bonded by faith.

Then rent the veil
freeing all men
an atonement
freely thus done
bonded by works.
