The Lord your God is a devouring fire (Deuteronomy 4:24; NLT).
You will free the captives from prison, releasing those who sit in dark dungeons (Isaiah 42:7; NLT).
I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly (John 10:10; NRSV).
Lord,
You are a devouring fire.
Please incinerate
My childhood sense of dread,
And set me free
From hell on earth,
To have
Abundant life.
