broken-curses – vjtravenblog

The heavy dark began before your breath was drawn in sighs,¹ Deeply enclosed within a line of dust and muffled cries,² Echoing low inside the quiet tomb of sudden death³ Where every generation watched its shadows steal their breath.⁴ You carried weights you never chose to name within your frame,⁵ A hidden, forbidden pattern tracing paths of ancient shame,⁶ While whispered lies of unabsolved inherited despair⁷ Narrowed your path into a dark and bitter blinding snare.⁸

The record of the ancient debt was sharply set in stone,¹³
An iron ledger written where the family branch was grown;¹⁴
Every legal title that the tracking failure claimed¹⁵
Became a legal fracture where your broken blood was blamed.¹⁶
The stalker watched your steps in silent, cold, stolen breath,¹⁷
Gauging the pressure of the house that built itself on death,¹⁸
Patterning the slow, recurring architecture of the room¹⁹
Until the heavy curse became your chosen crown of doom.²⁰

I am Free, I am Free. Christ sets me forever free,⁹ He bore every penalty to form one new humanity.¹⁰ He crushed the adversary and broke my chains eternally,¹¹ I am Free, I am Free. Christ has bought my liberty.¹²
I hear a sovereign voice outrun the ancient, heavy grave,²⁵
A sudden light erupts from the deep, drowning wave.²⁶
The scepter steps between the hunter and the captive slave;²⁷
The Lamb descends alone to conquer what His lifeblood gave.²⁸

I remember the weight of the wood before it touched My bone.³³
I did not look from a high throne to judge you there alone;³⁴
I knelt down in the raw dirt as the dark air grew colder³⁵
To drown your Pharaoh deep beneath My own collapsing shoulder.³⁶
What followed you through blood and bone is cast into the sea;³⁷
The concrete wall of separation was entirely torn.³⁸
Look at the specific hands that bleed to set your spirit free;³⁹
The final word was spoken long before your fear was born.⁴⁰
I was there.⁴¹

The grave is open wide today, the seals are cast aside;⁴⁶
Come hide inside the open portal of My bleeding side!⁴⁷
I am not bound—I write, reveal, release the frozen past,⁴⁸
The rusted needle falls from my dissolving fingers fast;⁴⁹
The iron claim that held my bloodline down in heavy chains⁵⁰
Is buried in the flood where no dark whisper now remains.⁵¹
I see Your face, I bear Your Name, I rise, I boldly stand;⁵²
The morning dew is warm upon the garden threshold stone.⁵³
Alive within Your torn, eternal, nail-pierced, sovereign hand,⁵⁴
I walk into the light. Your open arms have made my home.⁵⁵

Come, Lord Yeshua, come.⁵⁶
Amen.⁵⁷
