Freedom

through your faith you have been 
saved by the Lord God's grace
It required no effort on your part
as God Himself put it into place
a gift from the Holy Lord
of which no man can boast
it was the sacrifice of the blood of Jesus
and the spirit of the Holy Ghost

find the joy in your grief
seek the hope in your despair
embrace the strength in your weakness
know that God's love is here
learn to love instead of hate
understand that with courage there's no fear
use your faith to overcome doubt
and forgiveness will then appear

inner peace, a new purpose in life
and a positive mentality
freedom from the world's 
unrelenting reality
