The Freed Me -

You’ve got me, to be me

Cos you see me

You don’t hold back

Now you free me.

Cos you see deep down

And you free me deep down

You took a good look

And you helped me unclown

You saw my whole frame

And you took my whole shame

You saw what I couldn’t

And you built it again

You took my hurts and lies

Redefined my whole demise

Became them at the cross

And to my surprise

You rose and flew again

Took it all for now and then

You fulfilled all the whys

The what’s, the how’s, and when.

You smashed it, crashed it,

Paid up and cashed it.

Took the lash for me

And then buried the hatchet.

You see I’m Father’s son

Not just anyone

I’m clear, near, without fear,

You put me out in front, never bringing up the rear.

I’m stood, stayed,

seated and weighed,

I’ve been found no longer wanting

My sins are all erased.

I’m now fine with the Divine,

rooted in the vine,

Pals and partaker,

Of the bloodstained wine

Suited and booted,

I’m refound and rerouted,

I was lost, without a voice

But now I’m unmuted.

I’m wise in His eyes,

Freeing truth over lies,

I’ve turned a new leaf,

And taken off the disguise.

I’m putting on the new

And stripping off my blue

Lying on His green pastures

For my good Shepherd's view.

I couldn’t match up

But no second looks

Cos there’s no yellow cards

In my Saviour’s Book

My name's now engraved

Etched in the Lamb's Book of Life.

Written in blood

For the afterlife

But it’s already started,

The work He’s begun

Finished at the Cross

To be His son

Can I interest you too

In the truth that sets free

You see He doesn’t hold back

Here’s the freed me!
