Freedom – a word that evokes many emotions.
A thing can be free, no price attached, or free from restraints. An animal can be free, wild, or free, outside of its boundaries. A nation can be free, a place can have a free feeling, and a person can be free. A person can be free in body (no physical, environmental, or health constraints), free in spirit, and free from condemnation.
Most amazingly, a person can be free in spirit and soul even while their body is in bondage.

Through You the blind will see
Through You the mute will sing
Through You the dead will rise
Through You our hearts will praise
Through You the darkness flees
Through You my heart screams ‘I am free’
I am free
I am free to run
I am free to dance
I am free to live for You
I am free
Yes, I am free
