THE FREEDOM TO SERVE (Theme: For You Were Called to Freedom, Brothers. Only Do Not Use Your Freedom as an Opportunity for the Flesh, but Through Love Serve One Another. — Galatians 5:13) Verse 1 We broke out of the prison cells of legalism and blame, The Savior tore the warrants up and canceled out the shame. We stepped into the sunlight and we shouted, "We are free! No heavy yoke of ancient rules can dictate what we see." But the human heart is clever, and it loves to twist the line, Turning a holy liberty into a selfish sign. We say, "I have my freedom now, so I can chase my pride, And tolerate the appetites that bubble up inside." But the Master looks across the yard and calls us from the door, To show us what the heavy cost of liberty was for. Chorus For you were called to freedom, break the old systemic chain! But do not use your liberty to feed the flesh again. Don't turn it to an opening to do just what you please, While leaving all your brothers and sisters falling to their knees. But through a deep, enduring love, let every heart align, To serve one another in the Master’s own design! Verse 2 True freedom isn't doing whatever you want to do, It’s having power over self to build the world anew. It’s looking at a neighbor with a completely open heart, And asking where your working hands can play a helpful part. The highest form of liberty that heaven ever knew, Is when the King of Glory washed the feet of me and you. He didn't guard His freedom or protect His cosmic right, He wrapped a towel around His waist and stepped into our night. So pull the apron strings around, and take the lower place, For the service of the saints is the true metric of His grace! Chorus For you were called to freedom, break the old systemic chain! But do not use your liberty to feed the flesh again. Don't turn it to an opening to do just what you please, While leaving all your brothers and sisters falling to their knees. But through a deep, enduring love, let every heart align, To serve one another in the Master’s own design! Bridge Called Free! (Called Free!) Bound No More! (Bound No More!) Leave the ego... (At the door!) Through Love! (Through Love!) Take the Towel! (Take the Towel!) Serving in... (The here and now!) Serve one another! Chorus For you were called to freedom, break the old systemic chain! But do not use your liberty to feed the flesh again. Don't turn it to an opening to do just what you please, While leaving all your brothers and sisters falling to their knees. But through a deep, enduring love, let every heart align, To serve one another in the Master’s own design! #freedomtoserve #freedom #praiseandworship #worshipmusic #gospelmusic #music
