FREE INDEED

I was slave.

Slave to sin.

Bound for the grave.

Never to rise again.

But my King

He died for me

He took the sting

Rose in victory!

Truth I know

Has set me free

And-whom the Son sets free

Is free indeed!



This spoken word was inspired by the following scripture in the Holy Bible.

John 8:31-36 (NRSV)

Then Jesus said to the Jews who had believed in him, "If you continue in my word, you are truly my disciples; and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free." They answered him, "We are descendants of Abraham and have never been slaves to anyone. What do you mean by saying, 'You will be made free'?"

Jesus answered them, "Very truly, I tell you, everyone who commits sin is a slave to sin. The slave does not have a permanent place in the household; the son has a place there forever. So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.
