Free In Christ

With awe-inspiring grandeur 
The noble eagle soared
High above the treetops
Independence his reward

He flew with grace and dignity
As only the strong can fly
With a wave of his majestic wings
He ruled the endless sky

I couldn’t help but watch his skill
As he sailed around the clouds
Oh, to be just like him
In the freedom his life allows

Then my thoughts returned to me
There was something I forgot 
We are just like that fearless bird
For our salvation has been wrought

Jesus Christ has paid the price
Our wholeness to provide
Now we all are born again
Righteous and sanctified
  
Bondage cannot hold us down
For we’ve been given liberty
We can soar like eagles do
Because Christ has made us free

So, if you see an eagle fly
Remember that you can too
For all his freedom and his strength 
Is but a glint of what’s in you!
