(based on Mark 5: 1 – 20)
Held captive by demonic powers, lost soul
With broken fetters cries out for release.
The tombs his home; a lonely, dark hellhole,
No hope of freedom, happiness or peace.
The demons threw the man upon his knees
And begged Jesus, knowing their fate was sealed,
Not to be sent away; loud cries and pleas
To enter herds of swine, and to Him yield.
Unclean demons, in swine a new home found,
The madman, he gained freedom and release,
The swine, possessed, into a lake were drowned,
The madman, with Jesus, was now at peace.
In Jesus lies authority and power,
He is our refuge, fortress and strong tower.
