Free Indeed

He wasn't figuring that what he thought was his own All the things he ever sought and what he has known Everything he achieved and the family he had raised In all that he believed and all the things that amazed He wasn't counting on being wrong, thinking he's right This he felt strong only seeing what was within his sight For along this man went always standing on his two feet Unknowing what it all meant so he went on only to repeat He had all of his proof tucked deep inside his own mind As the wicked one will spoof to devour the lost he finds Leading his entire family to what he thought was best Neither could they see or know about one being blessed He knew that He was Blessed in all of the things he knew Ever sensing in each test, well that wasn't something new And in so leading as such His Footprints were easy to see For this man never lost touch with what had kept him free John 8:36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

Never. Like an anchor, it was all part of his existance. The truth shall set you free. The Lord is the Truth, the Light and the Way. His praise being Right and Just. God Bless.
