True independence comes,
when from sin we are set free
when from temptation
we are able to flee.
Then we will not lust,
after worldly things
instead we will desire
the freedom Jesus brings.
True liberation comes,
when sin no longer binds
when the Holy Spirit enters
our hearts and minds.
Then we will not please,
the things of the flesh
rather we will desire
God’s Word each day afresh.
True liberty comes,
when with God we’re in love
when we store our treasure
with Him in heaven above!
~~~~~~~~~~
Because the creature itself also
shall be delivered from the bondage
of corruption into the glorious
liberty of the children of God.
Love not the world,
neither the things
that are in the world.
If any man love the world,
the love of the Father
is not in him.
For all that is in the world,
the lust of the flesh,
and the lust of the eyes,
and the pride of life,
is not of the Father,
but is of the world.
