Freedom To Soar
“Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.” Galatians 5:1 of the King James Bible.
Divine freedom propels faith to soar high
as soul does inhale peace for service fly
reaching-out with steadfast compassion grasp
against selfishness clutch heart can’t deny.
Pardoned by God from sins of pride hued guilt
my spirit was quickened, life now rebuilt
upon Christ’s gracious hold of gentle clasp
so I won’t glide toward worthlessness’ wilt.
Through the grace of the Lord driving day’s goal
I ascend like vines entwined to Life pole
the Almighty Who blows revival gasp
for triumphant fulfillment of blest role.
