Spirit moving

There’s a fear that’s forming
Far from a distant shore
There’s a commune breathing
Life into the land once more
In a flash of lightening
In a blaze of fire
You could see their spirit moving
In a light that was so bright
You could see their spirit moving….

For the people of the Son
For the bullet from a gun
In a flash of lightening
In a blaze of fire
You could see their spirit moving
In a light that was so bright
From a dream that was so right
For the people of the Son
For the bullet from a gun

Crucified

Verse 1

In the darkest hour He prayed
Is there any other way
Yet not my will, but yours be done
He wept on that fateful day


Chorus

Crucified the Son of God
Crucified for me
Crucified the Son of God
Crucified for me


Verse 2

Bruised and tortured, stripped and scorned
He lay His own life down
Crying father forgive them for
They know not what they do

You are my God

Verse

You are my God, you are my Lord
You are my strength, my shield and my sword
You are the rock, on which I stand

You are my truth, you are my faith
You are the one who keeps me safe
You are my God, You are my Lord

Praise be to the Lord
For He has delivered me
Praise be tho the Lord
My Lord
Praise be to the lord
For He has set me
Praise be to the lord
My Lord

Chorus 2

Praise be to the Lord
For He is my righteousness
Praise be tho the Lord
My Lord
Praise be to the lord
For He is my Holiness
Praise be to the lord
My Lord

Freedom

It's self explanatory, you would think.
The choice to do anything that you like.
For every choice taken however there is another that you did not.
Furthermore there are consequences for every act that we take and every decision that we make. So whilst freedom is the ideal it also imposes on us responsibility, i.e. the ability to respond to any given situation.
Furthermore freedom means sinless. We do not have the ability to remove our own sin ( remembering sin just means disobedience to God). Christ removed our sin for us, as He is the only one with this ability. We do have the ability however to respond to God or not. For a Christian this means obeying God. For a non Christian, it is deciding whether to believe in Christ as God and saviour. These two statements are not mutually exclusive, and continue to work together throughout our entire lives.
The key, as always is our heart. In the depths of our being who is it that we really are and what would we like to become. To reach these depths can be to say the least, difficult.
An alcohol advert for Heineken in the 80's went something like this " Only Heineken can do this, as it reaches the parts no other beer can reach".
Now substitute Jesus for Heineken and thing for beer , and now we have The Truth.
Or put another way:
"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me".
Philippians 4:13
