To Be FREE

To Be FREE . . . the great goal of each heart, of each soul;

The aim of each life endeavor for the simple and the clever.

FREE from pain, FREE from sorrow, FREE from suffering, FREE from loss;

FREE from worry, FREE from conflict, FREE from work, FREE from the boss.

We desire To Be FREE to rule and order our life,

Yet we’re bound by life’s struggles oft’ accompanied with strife.

This world was once FREE, FREE from sin and at rest.

Man enjoyed the CREATION and was put to the test.

In this test he did fail, so Paradise was then lost.

From man’s FREEDOM to choose came his choice at great cost!

The entire CREATION was then cursed through this man.

GOD was just, yet showed mercy, then announced His GREAT plan!

Man would seek to be FREE, though enslaved by his sin;

Seeking ways of escape, finding contests to win.

When in fact the ONE FREE, Who Is Holy and Just,

Knew the only way man could be saved from his lust:

This FREE ONE in His Mercy, His Grace and His Love,

Came to earth as a man, left His Status above.

He was bound in His Love, gave His Life on that cross,

So that men could be FREE and recover from loss!

And That Man, Who was GOD, raised Himself from the dead,

Offering FREEDOM to all who trust Him and are led;

They are bound—To Be FREEFREE to learn , FREE to live;

FREE to love, FREE to laugh, FREE to help, FREE to give.

Give yourself to this ONE Who is FREE—To Be FREE;

This is why I have JOY despite trials facing me!

I hope that you agree with the slogan so often referenced here in Blacksburg, Virginia: “We will prevail.” I believe we will only truly prevail as we seek to learn through the challenges and even tragedies in life. Our Creator would have us to grow, but not grow weary. He would have us to truly prevail and not be defeated or remain sad or depressed. This website is dedicated for HIS Glory.
