Free Indeed

A hymn text for John 8:34-36

To the suggested tune MANOAH (“When All Thy Mercies”)

Lyrics

When sinful battles rage within
I know I cannot win,
Oh can it be, these words I read-
"You shall be free indeed"? 

When memories of my misdeeds 
Constrain me to my knees 
Oh can it be, these words I read-
"You shall be free indeed"? 

When life and health and liberty
Obscure my deeper need,
Oh can it be, these words I read-
"You shall be free indeed"? 

For freedom he has set us free
And not for slavery,
For it is true, these words I read-
"You shall be free indeed"!

Redeemed from sin's dark slavery
Into his family,
At Calvary he guaranteed
"You shall be free indeed"!
