When we do what we want to do
There can be rebellion in our wings,
But when we do what we ought to do
There’s freedom from within.
Freedom isn’t always external
Because circumstances can keep us bound,
But rather it’s the hidden beauty in the heart
Where liberty is found.
Our definition of freedom can be misleading
Because although we’re not imprisoned,
If we’re harbouring bitterness or unforgiveness
We’re in a spiritual prison.
Freedom is found within the soul
Through our mind, will and emotions,
When hope is intertwined with trust
And when faith is put in motion.
Jesus sets us free
In more ways we could imagine,
And the Holy Spirit reveals true freedom
Through Christ’s sacrifice and passion.
When we’re free
We’re no longer bound by fear,
But hand our anxieties over to God
Where His truth we desire to hear.
Freedom is found in servanthood
And in all selfless of ways,
When it’s sincere and filled with integrity
Where true motives will remain.
Freedom is found in forgiveness
As we’re forgiven and we forgive,
When we confess our sins to the Lord
And for God we choose to live.
When we’re free
It is by God’s sovereign grace,
As the shackles are removed within
And true liberty is faced.
True freedom is shaped like a cross
Where our sin was dealt with by Christ,
Who reconciles us to the Father
As we’re made precious in His sight.
