April 14th-Can't Touch This

You cannot touch me!
I am not yours.
You cannot have
What's been paid for.
I am weak
Here on my own
But I bow not
Before your throne.
My purchaser
Has paid the fee.
My redeemer
Has ransomed me
And thus you have
No power here.
I may be small
But I have no fear.

Do not approach,
Don't say a word.
His voice alone
Is all I've heard.
There'll be no bargain,
No exchange.
My destiny
Is prearranged.
I am free,
You have not won.
Be aware: this warrior
Will not run.
I am pressed,
I am not crushed.
I am formed
Of bone and dust
And though I'm weak,
I'm not afraid.
My soul's ransom
Has been paid.
