Free

Free

He

He sets us free

Sets me free

Me

Free

Free Indeed

Liberty

No more slavery

No more despair

Or fear

Oh hear

His call

To all

That WE might call

Upon His name

Proclaim

His fame

Our sin to own up to and claim

Better to maim

An eye or a leg

Than to beg

While in the depths of hell

Only sulfur in the well

Better to save than sell

Your soul, than to fall into the spell

Of the temporal

Corporeal 

the Banal

The legacy of Babel

Better to die to your flesh

Than to mesh

With transgression

Aggression 

Self satisfaction 

Better to sever

And then tether

Ourselves to Father 

God who never

Waivers

Never 

Reconsiders

Never 

Offers

A dead end road

His blood flowed

Free

Free 

Free

For us

For our purchase 

For atonement

For our movement

From dark to light

From wrong to right

From death to life

From surviving and strife

To His marvelous grace

The resting place

Sit at his feet and see HIs face

Feel the warmth of His embrace

As He slowly removes

The shackles...It's painful when He removes

them. The scars from the grooves

Where the chain dug in when we tried to prove

Our false power.

He alone has the power

It's painful when he removes

He's gentle as he smooths

the cloth over the grooves

Pours his blood over the wounds

The pain proves

that scars and shackles bear a price

Sin has sliced

and diced

Enticed

Then violently spliced

But it didn't sever

us from God forever

He made the way

The only way

He puts us back together

Frees us from the oppressor

Became our intercessor

Possessor

Our mighty Protector

We were walking cadavers

Now we are gathered

Unmeasured

Whomsoever

Calls on Him

Believes in Him

Trusts and waits in faith for Him

Is Free

Whom the Son sets Free

Is Free Indeed.
