Free

Music stirs something up in my soul. I have no musical talent at all...don't understand how to put notes together or anything like that, but something about music moves me. I always think to myself if I made a soundtrack of my life...what songs would be on it? There are just some songs that when I hear them they immediately take me back to a certain place in my life.....they just identify where I was at during that time. This song would definitely be on my life soundtrack. I have been singing this song for the past few days and it just resonates in my heart....being able to look forward and know that Jesus has already taken a victory for us and one day we will walk in complete freedom just makes my heart give a longing sigh....kind of like when you wake up from a good dream...except this one will come true! This has been my prayer and my hope this week....thought I would share. It's called Free by Jill Paquette....

Take my life, make it clay
Shape this life in intricate ways
I want to be a child of faith
But what my heart wants most my body turns away
I push Your ways aside and wonder why I let pride decide every time

But I can't wait to be free
From this life of mindless sin that compromises me
I know one day I will be
There is a victory that You've won for me
And when You come back again
I'll be free

Turn my eyes to Your face
Let me draw from Your strength
And bathe in Your grace
Let me soar with wings to win this race
Let me have Your peace it's not a hopeless chase
'Cause I lose sight of all You have called me to be
And it takes so much to drop me to my knees

But I can't wait to be free
From this life of mindless sin that compromises me
I know one day I will be
There is a victory that You've won for me
And when You come back again
I'll be free

I know one day I will be
There is a victory that You've won for me
And when You come back again
I'll be free

Take my life, make it clay
Shape this life in intricate ways
I want to be a child of faith
But what my heart wants most my body turns away...

But I know one day I'll be free.

I love to see people pouring out their hears LB. Thank you for taking the time to write this out, and share what he has done, and is doing in your life. I can't wait for that day when we will see Him fully, and know Him fully, even as we are fully known.
