FREEDOM

Free to be me and express to the rest,
The joy you bring to my life,
Fighting hard every inch of the way,
To stay in God's celestial light,
We are free to love, to care, to share,
To be all that God desires,
And with our love for life intact,
We sing, God take me higher,
Take me to the heights and depths of your love,
Where all I can feel is you,
Take me to that secret hidden place,
Where my life can be renewed,
Take me from the valley and set me up on high,
Above all my aches and pains,
Take me to that sweet and glorious place,
Where your blessings shower down on me like rain,
Take me where all I can feel is your love divine,
Take me to the Holy One,
Where in him my life is sublime,
Take  me to the rivers, so calming and so pure,
Lead me to your presence where I can feel secure,
Let me get lost in your truths,
For God Allah you are so wonderful,
And from you I need no proofs,
You have equipped me to fight this battle,
You know has already been won,
Because of your unselfish love,
Again the battle has been won,
You have strengthened me to walk this road,
And enjoy peace filled days,
Your love has brought me through much and many,
And in your love I bathe as I pray.
