Sunrise
You brought the sun into my dark night
Wide-eyed
You brought the color to my black and white
Ooooo, oo-ooo-oo, ooooo
Feel like I'm living for the first time
Ooooo, oo-ooo-oo, ooooo
And now I'm dancing in Your light
This is what freedom feels like
This is what freedom feels like
This is what freedom feels like
This is what freedom feels like, feels like
Landslide
Your love came crashing into my life, ooo-ooo
High tide
Your grace is washing every wrong right
Ooooo, oo-ooo-oo, ooooo
Feel like I'm living for the first time
Ooooo, oo-ooo-oo, ooooo
And now I'm dancing in Your light
This is what freedom feels like
This is what freedom feels like
This is what freedom feels like
This is what freedom feels like, feels like
I was lost and Your love came to find me
I was blind 'til You showed me my victory
I was bound and You set me free
Now I'm alive, I'm alive
This is what freedom feels like
This is what freedom feels like
Ohh, this is what freedom feels like
This is what freedom
This is what freedom!... feels like
This is what freedom feels like
This is what freedom feels like
This is what freedom feels like, feels like
This is what freedom feels like
This is what freedom feels like
This is what freedom (feels like)
This is what freedom
This is what freedom (feels like)
Ohh, ohh
That's what freedom feels like
"What Freedom Feels Like" by Cody Carnes is a powerful and uplifting song that captures the essence of what it means to experience true freedom in Christ. The lyrics paint a picture of a transformed life, filled with joy, light, and a sense of purpose.
The song begins with the lines, "Sunrise, you brought the sun into my dark night. Wide-eyed, you brought the color to my black and white." These lyrics beautifully illustrate the transformative power of God's love and grace. It's as if the sun finally rises after a long and dark night, bringing light and warmth to the soul. Through Christ, our lives are no longer dull and monochromatic, but vibrant and full of purpose.
The chorus of the song declares, "This is what freedom feels like. This is what freedom feels like. This is what freedom feels like, feels like." The repetition of these lines emphasizes the joy and liberation that comes from being set free in Christ. It's a reminder that true freedom is not found in the things of this world, but in surrendering our lives to God and experiencing His love and grace.
In the bridge of the song, Carnes sings, "I was lost and Your love came to find me. I was blind 'til You showed me my victory. I was bound and You set me free. Now I'm alive, I'm alive." These lyrics beautifully encapsulate the story of redemption found in the Bible. Scripture tells us that we were once lost in our sin, blind to the truth, and bound by the chains of our own brokenness. But through Jesus' sacrifice on the cross, we are set free and brought to life. As Romans 6:6-7 says, "For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin— because anyone who has died has been set free from sin."
The inspiration behind "What Freedom Feels Like" is rooted in the personal experiences and journey of Cody Carnes. As a Christian artist, he desires to create music that not only resonates with listeners but also points them towards the hope and freedom found in Christ. In an interview with Rhema FM, Carnes shared that he hopes his music will be a "lens" through which people can see Jesus and experience His love.
The song has received positive feedback from both fans and critics alike. It has been described as a "powerful anthem" and a "joyful declaration of freedom" by Jesus Freak Hideout. The energetic and upbeat musical arrangement perfectly complements the uplifting message of the song.
"What Freedom Feels Like" is a reminder that true freedom is found in a relationship with Jesus Christ. It's a call to surrender our lives to Him and experience the transformative power of His love and grace. Through Christ, we can find joy, purpose, and a sense of true freedom that surpasses anything this world has to offer. So let us embrace this freedom and dance in the light of His love.
