Come, Ransomer! O Come, Redeemer!

  • Captive Feeling: Darkness, Bleakness, Helpless, Hopeless, Painful, Miserable, Sorrowful, Mournful
  • Captive Seeking: Light, Deliverance, Freedom, Rescue, Release, Return, Restoration to Wholeness
  • Captive Looking: Savior, Rescuer, Deliverer, Ransomer, Redeemer – But still Remembered… by anyone?
  • Captive confinement: Physical, Psychological, Emotional – But, is it Spiritual?
  • Captor-Oppression/Suppression: Seeks Domination, Containment, Control, of the inauspicious, hapless, vulnerable Captive
    • But is it “Foreverable,” ~ perpetually permanent, forever?
    • And, what of the soul within? What of yours?
  • What is your place, situation, condition of Captivity from which you cannot escape?
  • What are your heart cries by day and by night?
  • And to whom do you make them?

… for their sake he remembered his covenant
and out of his great love he relented.
He caused all who held them captive
to show them mercy.
~ Psalm 106:45,46 NIV
