"and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty" II Corinthians 3:17b

Liberty

Denis Brent Rees

Liberty my God I seek eternal liberty
so internally I hide Thy Word literally
Should we drift apart renew my heart
for it is I who has left Love You impart

Liberty a blessing I've on occasion tasted
only second guessing sensations wasted
Father I come to Thee sorely enchained
asking how to rid my soul of sin retained

Liberty never found in earth's pleasures
tho' cleverly bound in searches' treasures
Carefully adorned in bright colored places
there You are scorned by enamored faces

Liberty why should I ever be surprised
Thy Word's skewered and compromised
Still I've a choice what my soul swallows
as I hear Thy voice whom my soul follows

Liberty by Thy mercy I shall never perish
I've a reserved place near my God I cherish
Painfully my Savior wept for me at the cross
not vainly He swept me from a certain loss

Liberty is this day offered by my dear Lord
victory over death on the cross underscored
I felt dismayed by years of trial and despair
all the while You displayed how You still care

In The Name of Christ Jesus

Amen!
