With that in mind I would like to share with you one of my favorite hymns. We sing this often at the chuch we attend.
Glorious Freedom
Written by Haldor Lillenas in 1917
Composed by Alfred Judson
Once I was bound by sin's galling fetters, Chained like a slave I struggled in vain;
Then I received a glorious freedom, When Jesus broke my fetters in twain.
Glorious Freedom, Wonderful Freedom, No more in chains of sin I repine!
Jesus the glorious Emancipator, Now and forever He shall be mine.
Freedom from all the carnal affections, Freedom from envy, hatred and strife;
Freedom from vain and worldly ambitions. Freedom from all that saddened my life.
Glorious Freedom, Wonderful Freedom, No more in chains of sin I repine!
Jesus the glorious Emancipator, Now and forever He shall be mine.
Freedom from pride and all sinful follies, Freedom from love and glitter of gold;
Freedom from evil temper and anger, Glorious freedom, rapture untold.
Glorious Freedom, Wonderful Freedom, No more in chains of sin I repine!
Jesus the glorious Emancipator, Now and forever He shall be mine.
Freedom from fear with all of its torments, Freedom from care with all of its pain;
Freedom in Christ my blessed Redeemer, He who has rent my fetters in twain.
Glorious Freedom, Wonderful Freedom, No more in chains of sin I repine!
Jesus the glorious Emancipator, Now and forever He shall be mine.
I pray that each of you have experienced this Glorious Freedom which is found ONLY in Christ Jesus our Lord!
