freedom in Jesus

freedom in Jesus

in our Lord the Christ

freedom in chains

the bounds of His love

mercy forever

freedom in chains

yoked to our Savior

on the path before us

the way to paradise

freedom in Jesus

freedom in chains

in his arms

out of the cave

emerge from our fears

hiding from God

enclosed in our cave

upon the mountainside

to emerge from the cave

into God’s love

not in the fire, the earthquake

in the small voice

needing us to listen

to feel God with us

the Spirit speaking within

wooing, seeking, guiding

calling us to God

healing us with a whisper

with a loving promise

guiding us out of the cave

into God’s loving presence

The Holy Spirit gives voice

we on our own mute

unable to speak glory

the Holy Spirit alone gives voice

any good we speak

given by God

the Holy Spirit within us

gifting us power

voice to bear witness

to the ends of the earth

her calling to You

for the Holy Spirit

to fall down upon us

offering us blessing

Oh spirit, descending,

emptied of self

filled to be poured

to be a blessing

enter my heart

fill me, fill me

open to your blessing

break me down

heal me within

mark me with your love

filled to be poured

emptied of self
