In His Mercy (Freedom)

Life was a vision that faded away A beginning and end with no point in between But death became life by You and in Your mercy There's no end only new beginnings Life was a life I'd been living a long time But I wasn't living at all Now that I'm free I can do what you will me to do And for you alone Imprisoned by the will of my own Shackled by what this world calls freedom But now I'm a slave for you and I am finally free As backwards and upside down as it seems Life was a life I'd been living a long time But I wasn't living at all Now that I'm free I can do what you will me to do And for you alone I was surrounded by all one could possibly need But I was never satisfied Now that I starve and thirst for You and You alone I'm filled to the brim with Your love and your life Life was a life I'd been living a long time But I wasn't living at all Now that I'm free I can do what you will me to do And for you alone Stumbling through the suffering and pain Staggering past all the violence and hate But now I drink this cup and I am drunk with your love Strangely now I can walk straight 'Cause life was a life I'd been living a long time But I wasn't living at all Now that I'm free I can do what you will me to do And for you alone Life was a life I'd been living a long time But I wasn't living at all Now that I'm free I can do what you will me to do And for you alone
