freedom
from the regret
of hateful words
the sting
of broken relationships
the pain
of bitter memories
the fear
of being exposed
the guilt
of wrongs done
the shame
of living a lie
there is freedom in purity…
though the world may not agree
freedom
to speak
with integrity
to relate
in untainted intimacy
to live
beyond the shadows
to walk
unhindered
by the burden
of a conscience defiled
there is freedom in purity.
oh, that my lips were cleansed with coals of fire
and my heart purged of iniquity
my mind unconfined by depravity
to walk in the freedom of purity
