What does Freedom mean?



I've been singing a song over and over again for a few months now. Very often it pops in my head when I'm feeling down about myself or when I'm forgeting what it REALLY means to be free. In Christ we are FREE and "it is for freedom that Christ has set us free" - Galations 5:1.


Here's the lyrics to the song:

God’s Spirit is upon me, I am anointed to proclaim Good News to you.
For all the captives who are blind but long to see, this is your hour, I have come to set you free.
And Freedom means you’re free to choose, a life in Me you’ll never lose.
To see through this world’s thin veneer and know your future isn’t here.
To feel the sand between your toes, to get a name nobody knows,
To die to self and all its misery.
Don’t you know that it’s for freedom you are free?

Children of the new Jerusalem, your liberation starts with treasuring this truth.
Why would you want to live in sin and slavery? If you will trust Me, I will truly set you free.
And freedom means you’re free to love.
To know that knowing is enough,
To burn your candle at both ends,
To lay your life down for your friends.
Free to have a mind that’s pure, to know your future is secure
To look into an angels palm to see, don’t you know that its for freedom you are free?

Fearfully you have tried to fight your sin and still there has been no freedom there.
I am not asking you to try again but to join me in a Holy love affair [with Christ].
And freedom means you’re free to care
To see the wind blow through My hair
Free to give your life away and know that its going to be ok.
To teach a child to catch a ball
To let Me be you’re All in All
To no longer try to DO but try to BE.
Don’t you know that its for freedom you are free?

Don’t you know that its for freedom you are FREE!
