Held Captive - or, if the story turned out different (Luke 8:26-39)

come out, you who bind him
we're not afraid

he grew up here long ago
we knew him them
and we know him now, though
then was better

he grew up around the
corner, i knew his
mother when she still lived
in town with us
now, though, he would cause us
too much trouble
if he was still that close

but then our God
calls to him, the one who
we used to know
not as possessed - rather
claimed as person
named as beloved child -
all of our sight
turns to memory of
who he once was

come out, you who bind him
we're not afraid
