Child of God, love and be free,
For to love and be loved is all you need.
From birth, love is the constant good,
And it is the essence of joy and happiness, as it should
Be, for the Father is joy and love, forever
Flowing and being, like a great river
Of mirth from Heaven itself, a river of life
To heal all ills and end all strife.
Here we sit, wrapped in chains of our own making
And the Devil's, and when we start shaking
Them, breaking them, we will take up arms
Against our Enemy, ancient and crafty, who harms
Us all from birth with mortal lies, carefully
Made to break our wings, leaving us woefully
Cut off at the knees; I pray that God frees you.
Run to the others, swift Malachi,
Messenger of Jesus, may you fly
On perfect eagles' wings, forged in
The fires of Heaven's blacksmit, to win
Him the war through swiftness, to tell
The brothers and sisters of battle to come; tell them: "Fight well."
And when Lucifer is thrown into the pit
Of darkness, and the names that are writ
In the Book of Life are read, to step forth
Into glory with the Father, and the true worth
Of all is shown, then shall joy rise
To overtake all, and the serpents called lies will die.
Child of God, love and be free,
For to love and be loved is all you need.
I hope these words give you strength to go on,
For the end, the everlasting joy, is just beyond the horizon.
