I Am a Slave

I am a slave.
I was born a slave.
I served a cruel master.
He kept me constantly in chains.
I could never do enough to please him.
The harder I worked, the more cruel he became.
I lived in fear, with nothing but death to look forward to.
Then, I was bought.
I have a new Master.
He freed me from my chains.
He is pleased just to have me as His own.
I don't have to work hard to earn His kindness.
I live in hope, knowing that my service will be rewarded.
The price my Master paid for me speaks of my worth to Him.
I choose to serve my Master, for nowhere else can I find
True freedom.

But now having been set free from sin,
and having become slaves of God,
you have your fruit to holiness,
and the end, everlasting life.
Romans 6:22
