Finding Freedom

orchidee



Tune: Buckland

('Loving Shepherd of thy sheep')

John 8 v.31-36

********

John's Gospel Series (9)

 

Jesus said, If you here do

Continue in my word true

Then are you my disciples

You have surely heard my calls

 

And you shall know the truth here

I shall it to you endear

And the truth shall make you free

Though you servants of sin be

 

For whoever commits sin

Needs a freeing from within

For such to sin are servants

Yet they can be freed from thence

 

The servants they abide not

Forever, that not their lot

In a house, but the Son, He

Abides for ever, whole, free

 

If the Son therefore shall make

You free, for His mercies sake

You shall then be free indeed

He shall e'er you guide and lead

        Yes Orchidee,

        You could say that. I always wanted to go on a hot air balloon. I nearly went on one at the beach in Bournemouth.

        The wind was bad that day though I couldn't in the end!

        Never say never!
