Liberty

In the world, but not of the world,

You're just passing through,

Sojourning here until you reach the land,

That God has prepared for you.


Wanting to be free,

from all that binds and constricts,

seeking liberty,

from all of life’s conflicts.


I must operate in the midst of order and organization,

So…

Down with chaos and disorder,

down with confusion, and down with strife.

Up with order, up with clarity,

up with victory, and abundant life.


For ye have been called unto liberty,

the price has been paid for your victory.

Stand fast therefore in the liberty,

wherewith Christ hath made you free.


I will have liberty!

I will be free!


I will be…

Free from fear,

free from confusion,

free from darkness,

free from illusion.


Free from guilt,

free from shame,

free from sickness,

free from pain.


Free from bondage,

free from depression,

free from burdens,

free from oppression.


Free from deception,

free from lying,

free from disease,

free from dying.


Free from doubt, unbelief, and fear,

Free from lack, poverty, and destruction,

Liberty and freedom are here!


Be not entangled again,

with the yoke of bondage or with sin

by love serve one another,

live in liberty and at peace with each other.


For ye have been called unto liberty,

the price has been paid for your victory.

Stand fast therefore in the liberty

wherewith Christ hath made you free

Galatians 5:1


…only use not liberty as an occasion to serve the flesh.


Liberty!
