Freedom - Josh Garrels - Live!

Today's music is AWESOME!

Recorded live during a 2015 acoustic concert in Houston with Josh Garrels—the video features his song Freedom.

The lyrics are DEEP and challenging to say the least—and to my ears the song isn't easily categorized—except to say it has a unique, fresh sound.

But I definitely love the Truth Garrels expresses—pointing to the futility of searching for meaning in life without God—and then the Blessings (and TRUE Freedom) of knowing Jesus as Lord!

2 Peter 3:9

If you don't already know Him—you can learn more about how to start your new life with Jesus as Lord below. ✝

Freedom - Lyrics

Mhmm...
(vocal improvisation continues)

Professional or beginner doesn't matter
Every sinner is a prisoner in a body that is subject to time
Now my entwined mind tries to form a straight line
Not like twisted scoliosis of the spinal chord

Construct
Cross-eyed carpenters are cuttin' crooked lines
Can't construct
Man-made shrines when the winds and the water move the sands of time

Many minds on a deadline
Yet live life like a live wire
I'm not tired!
Of blood and fire
Spirit's moving higher than the green grass ever lifted me

Spirit's moving higher...
Than anything else ever lifted you
See

We got spirituality
It's living in us like one in three
Injustice is concerning me
In the non-linear eternity

I'm speaking paradoxically
But you can nod your head now when you understand me

This is for my free men
Whose backs wont bend in the lions den
Now with their eyes on the ending

This is for my free women!
They fight with their love
The bearers of our children

Free men whose backs wont bend in the lions den
Now with their eyes on the ending

This is for my free women
They fight with their love
The bearers of our children

We shine like lights exposing
What lies underneath decomposing
Unearth those chains that are rusted
Oh! My, God! Is that what I trusted in?

That sin? That tomfoolery? Ugh!
What it is is mental jewelry that I adorned myself with

The enemy's gifts, the man-made myths, the ignorant bliss
Of marijuana spliffs and alcoholic fifths
I got so sick and tired of it

Delivered and redeemed
By Christ I mean
It's time to start livin'
And get a reason for the rhymes

I don't wanna be dead-wrong on the deadline
Standing on the dark side and all out of time...
Like a blind pantomime's fantasize
Climb up his own ladder to the sunshine

Nothin's mine
That hasn't been given
No one's alive here
That hasn't been risen
For 19 years I was trapped in a prison

Feeding my escape by means of derision
But every man-made attempt just failed
When trapped in a jail
Of my own guilt, shame, and iniquity

I was looking for freedom
How'd I find freedom?
From all of this?

He said believe!
He said believe!
Who are you telling me to believe......

He said I'm the Christ!
So I believed!

Freedom! 

Mhmm...
(vocal improvisation continues to end)

Thanks so much for stopping by—
 
May God Richly Bless you!

Jesus is LORD!

Time is growing short!

Seek Him!

✝   Romans 10:9-10

9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. 

---------------------------------

If you've made this decision—believed it in your heart and confessed it with your mouth—let God speak to you by reading the Bible—and seek out fellowship with others who also believe.

Pour out your heart to God in Prayer (simply speaking to Him in reverence)—asking Him to reveal Himself to you and to provide for your needs.

Life in Jesus is the best decision you will ever make.

God Bless!

John 12:44-50
