I Have Freedom
A Declaration of Liberty in Christ
I have freedom—not a license to indulge,
But the glorious liberty of the children of God.
Not a freedom to do as I please,
But a freedom to love and to serve with ease.
“So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.” (John 8:36)
I have freedom from the guilt of sin—
The accuser's voice no longer can enter in.
The penalty is paid, the record erased.
In Christ, I am justified, fully embraced.
I have freedom from the power of death—
For the One who conquered the grave gives me His breath.
No fear of the tomb, no dread of the end.
My life is hidden in Christ, my eternal Friend.
There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. (Romans 8:1)
I have freedom to walk in the light,
To choose what is good, to do what is right.
Not by my strength, but by His Spirit's power,
In every temptation, He helps me tower.
I have freedom to worship and praise,
To lift holy hands through all of my days.
To come boldly before the throne of grace,
And to gaze upon the beauty of His face.
Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. (2 Corinthians 3:17)
So I will not wear again the yoke of slavery.
I am a child of the King, living in victory.
I have freedom—now and forevermore,
Because Christ has opened every door.
Amen.
