I have been singing along to this song on the radio for a few weeks without listening to or thinking about the lyrics for a few weeks now. Just recently it really hit me how powerful they are. This song could be my theme song for the past few months. Its just so great I had to share.
Oh my chains,
I can't disengage,
I don't believe that I want to,
one hand sings your praise, the other brings me shame,
I have selfishness to blame...
And I'm singing for freedom,
I know I'm not the only one praying to the one,
who can bring me this freedom,
I'm ready for change, change, change, change...
Looking down I lay,
I keep holding my chains,
no longer bound but here I stay,
I scream father please,
I need rescuing,
I need and you alone..
And I'm singing for freedom,
I know I'm not the only one praying to the one,
who can bring me this freedom,
I'm ready for, I'm ready for...
Still you patiently await yet I won't just let go,
I see you and you alone,
saying come follow me despair has come so you can see release
So I'm singing for freedom,
So I'm singing for freedom...
The time has come-separation lost the war to love,
take my hand, grace is found-yeah-where your words begin,
you're alive, you're alive,
in the waking of new life,
take my hand, in the end there's only love...
(ooooo) there's only love (oooo)
there's only singing for freedom,
i know i'm not the only one praying to the one,
who can bring me this freedom,
i'm ready for, i'm ready for-
father please, i need rescuing, i need you and you alone...
Wow. It gets me every time.
"One hand sings your praise, the other brings me shame. I have selfishness to blame." I am so guilty of this so this song really encourages me to praise Him with both of my hands.
"In the end there's only love." I love that line! Love it!
