Freedom

Freedom

The soul of man shouts out for freedom
Not sure of where its found
They spend treasures in pursuit of it
But their spirit still feels bound. 

Some seek it in the power they gain
While putting others down
While others look to money
Thinking that's where it is found

Others think they will find freedom
By pursuing their career
To only come up empty
Filled with doubts and fear.

God came to earth in the form of man
To teach where freedom's found
Not in the things that bind us here
But through his love we can abound

His teaching began when as a baby
To his created earth he came
The Humility of Almighty God
Displayed in a lowly manger frame

He grew up before us
Touching all the challenges we face
He did it from his passion
To give mankind God's Grace

He walked the place called Galilee
To teach man not to flounder
Not only by the words he spoke
But his actions spoke even louder

He turned the water into wine
To serve the wedding clan
He healed the sick and raised the dead
It was part of heaven's plan

He then took to the mountain
To breath life by what he spoke
Love your neighbor as yourself
And that would give you hope.

Many more things Christ did
To show us how to live
He then walked the hill to Calvary
For our sin his life to give.

You see freedom comes from sacrifice
Ever since sin bound our hearts
God's only Son died for us
Heaven's freedom to impart.

And so to find true freedom
Forgiveness we must receive
To yield ourselves to God's great love
And in his Son believe

Christ showed that to have real freedom
A servant you must be
Looking out for the best of others
Will keep you feeling free.

Micah 6:8 (KJV)
He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?
