Freedom

What does freedom mean to you? I suppose just like anything else freedom means different things to different people. Those of you who know me well know that Charles Billingsley's song, Freed is my all time favorite. The words of the song tell how Jesus paid the price for all of our sins. Let me share below:

Too many to count yet
He took each one
Every sinful thing that I'd ever done
A lifetime of selfish living

With only a prayer he forgot each one
With a love that goes so far beyond
The realm of my own forgiving

Now I stand here so unworthy
Knowing that the cross should have been mine

CHORUS
He paid for all my sin with love
Who at the cost of His own blood
From earthly grave to heaven's throne
He took my burdens as His own
One spotless lamb, my sacrifice
My Savior's death to me meant life
He paid for all my sin with love
Love that has completely
Love that has forever
Freed me

The mercy He gives brings a lasting peace
All His strength and grace meets my every need
Enough just to keep believing

And I rest here within the glory
Of knowing I am His and He is mine

CHORUS

BRIDGE
The weight of the cross brought Him to His knees
So I could stand forgiven and I could be set free

CHORUS again and the song ends with those last two powerful words: Freed Me.

So what does freedom mean to me ? It means that through Jesus Christ I have forgiveness and no matter what I do as His child nothing or no one can pluck me out of His hand. It means my life is sealed forever and that is a wonderful feeling. If you don't know this peace and joy let me share with you how you too can be free.

Go be a blessing ...
