PROGRAMMED

            Programmed by life's  circumstances
            We're a mystery to behold
            Who we are is what's been added
            By experiences untold
            Some were helpful, others crippling
            Some we had to form ourselves
            Holy Spirit wants to change us
            Are we going to let Him delve?

            We can certainly ignore Him
            Let the devil rule our lives
            Constant battle of emotions
            Only leads to pain and strife
            Is it really that important
            Holding on to to all our past
            Or shall we release our burdens
            For a life that's going to last.
