Freedom in Christ
by Gary Turner
Satan
prances round us
In a mocking
“fun-dance”,
Trying to
deny us
Life in
Christ’s abundance:
Satan tries
to blind us
But Jesus
wants to find us.
Satan can
enslave us
But Jesus
wants to save us.
Satan will
accuse us
But Jesus wants
to choose us.
Satan’s
there to tempt us
But Jesus
will exempt us.
Satan may
deceive us
But Jesus
will receive us.
Satan can
entrap us
Through what
we say or hear,
But if we
are secure in Christ
There’s
nothing we need fear.
Jesus Christ
–
He is the Truth,
And so, if
you’re wise,
You will
renounce
Each and
every
One of Satan’s
lies.
If you
repent
And change
your mind,
Then there’s
something
You will
find:
You won’t
let
Your
feelings break you
If you let
The Lord’s
truth make you!
Co-operate
with God
And do His
will –
Then His
Spirit
Shall thee
fill.
Even though
You may
still do wrong,
Remember to
whom
You now belong:
You can no
longer
Be defiled
For, though
you may sin,
You’re still
God’s child.
A sinner
once
You may have
been
But Christ declares
you
Pure and
clean.
Since on the
cross
He once
died,
You have now
been
Justified,
So that in
The Father’s
sight
You’re no
longer bad
’Cos you’ve
been made right.
You have
been rescued
From your
plight
So that you
now
Live in
light.
And since
faith comes
From what
you’ve heard,
Listen to
God
And feast on
His Word.
Meet with
friends –
Just one or
two –
And you will
find
Christ’s
there with you.
To journey
with
Good friends,
you must
Build
relation-
ships of
trust.
Knowing the
truth
Will set you
free
To become
the person
You ought to
be.
All you have
to do
Is choose
To do the
right thing –
You have
nothing to lose!
Choose the
truth;
Don’t choose
the lie.
What you
feed will grow;
What you
starve will die.
Overcome the bad
And become
the good –
Doing this
Is what you
should,
And as you
step into
This reality
Then you
will find
You’ve been
set free!
