Music is Spirit with a Tune

I just realized my last two posts were lyrics... I don't think anyone is reading these posts anyways, so I don't really care.

But, it made me think about how music really has the power to describe and unleash what's happening within me.

...liberty...
So often I shackle myself with sin, shame, or sorrow.
But, for freedom I have been set free!

I am really learning the importance of leaning on the Lord-and not on myself.
I don't think I have ever been so in touch with how fallen I really am.
That's fine, it's good... really.
It's just not easy to be broken, humbled, and reminded:
i. am. nothing.

The Lord is the Spirit 
Where the Spirit of the Lord is, now 
There is liberty 
And the Spirit lives inside of me 
Where the Spirit of the Lord is, now 
There is liberty, there is liberty, 
There is liberty 

For freedom You set me free 
And yes, I am free indeed 
You rewrote my name 
And shackled my shame 
You opened my eyes to see 
I am free 

When the spirit of the world 
Comes to kill me and enslave me I will say 
There is liberty 
For the chains of sin that once entangled me 
Have been broken, now I'm singing 'cause I'm free 
There is liberty, there is liberty, 
There is liberty 

For freedom You set me free 
And yes, I am free indeed 
You rewrote my name 
And shackled my shame 
You opened my eyes to see 
I am free 

The storm rolled in 
It was dark in the land 
As the Son of Man 
Was crucified 
You don't take His life 
He laid it down 
He paid the price 
And shed His blood 

It is done! 
The veil is torn 
He has won 
And I am free 
And I am free 
And I am free 
I am free 

For freedom You set me free 
And yes, I am free indeed 
You rewrote my name 
And shackled my shame 
You opened my eyes to see 

For freedom You set me free 
And yes, I am free indeed 
You rewrote my name 
And shackled my shame 
You opened my eyes to see 
I am free
