Instruction

Wendy Rice

I take your instruction.
I will fight in your honor.
I will not backdown.  
You give me peace.
You give me direction.
My compass in the night.
In my sleep, I will dream with you.
Rise my child.
The time has come.
No longer hostage.
Chains will break.  
Press into my word.
Listen to me.
The victory is yours.
Devoutly your Lord.
