I am Free!

We were recently at a conference and we sang this song:

I AM FREE!

Through You the blind will see
Through You the mute will sing
Through You my heart screams I am free
I am free

I am free to run (I am free to run)
I am free to dance (I am free to dance)
I am free to live for You (I am free to live for You)
I am free (I am free)
Yes, I am free (I am free)

Through You the kingdom comes
Through You the battle's won
Through You I'm not afraid
Through You the price is paid
Through You there's victory
Because of You my heart screams I am free
I am free

I am free to run (I am free to run)
I am free to dance (I am free to dance)
I am free to live for You (I am free to live for You)
I am free (I am free)
Yes, I am free (I am free)

The week before we had three new children brought to the orphanage. One child is hairless--not one hair on his entire body but otherwise normal. One child has a leg that does not move. One child is both deaf and blind. All are adorable boys. When we sang this song, I had a vision of the children I love running, singing, dancing and having whole bodies loving the One who loves them most. Their lives here on earth may be limited but one day they will be free~
