I Will Be Free

I'm re-reading Hinds' Feet On High Places by Hannah Hurnard.

Need to feel loved by our Savior? Want to feel special--that there's no one else like you in the Lord's eyes? Do you need reassurance that you are worthy--that if you were the only soul in the world, Jesus would have still went to the cross just for you? Are you discouraged? Do you need to feel forgiveness and compassion? This is the book for you!!! Oh, to wrap your heart around the Lover of our souls.

As I've been reading, I keep thinking of this song by Cindy Morgan--I Will Be Free.  I don't know whether she wrote it with this book in mind--but it fits so beautifully. 




I Will Be Free
Cindy Morgan

The mountains are steep
And the valleys low
Already I'm weary
But I have so far to go
Oh, and Sorrow holds my hand
And Suffering sings me songs
But when I close my eyes
I know to whom I belong
Who makes me strong

I will be free
I will be free to run the mountains
I will be free
Free to drink from the living fountain
Oh, I'll never turn back
'Cause He waits for me
Oh, I will be free

A wise man, a rich man
In pauper's clothes
A Shepherd to lead us
Through the land of woes
Though many battles I have lost
So many rivers yet to cross
But when my eyes behold the Son
Who bore my loss, who paid the cost

I will be free
I will be free to run the mountains
I will be free
Free to drink from the living fountain
Oh, I'll never turn back
'Cause He waits for me
Oh, I will be free
Oh, and I'll dance on silver moonlight
And I'll walk through velvet fields
Oh, and I'll run into the arms
The arms that set me free

I will be free
I will be free to run the mountains
I will be free
Free to drink from the living fountain
Oh, I'll never turn back
'Cause He waits....
I'll never turn back
Don't you ever turn back
Because someday, someday we're gonna see
That we will be free
