For Freedom

For Freedom

O to be delighted by you

And to see the colors of your train

And to be freed by you

That would be that would be

That would be my claim to fame

So rejoice my friend because my friend

You've got a friend and friend indeed

It is for freedom he set us free

But simon says to fill your void

With toy after toy after girl after boy

After all isn't that what we were meant for

Please believe me when I say

It is for freedom he set us free

O poor us we sigh

Pour us out I cry

So we can be free

The bigger picture is there is a holy calling

O how I'm slowly falling

Falling falling in love

And your water has been pouring out on me

How could I be so naive I

t is for freedom it is for freedom

It is for freedom he set us free

-Jimmy Needham

1It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.

-Galatians 5:1

This song has been running through my mind for the past few days. Jimmy Needham is newer to the christian music scene and I instantly became a fan.

This song reminds me of the reasons why Christ died for us. Freedom, he wants no less for us. Slavery to this world was never our heritage. Jesus bought our freedom. Jesus took our burden. I pray that I leave mine at his cross tomorrow, that I let him take it all from me. If I don't leave it at his feet am I then rejecting the gift of freedom he died for? Just some questions to ponder and Easter Sunday draws ever nearer.
