Don't worry
Don't cry
That's a voice I hear inside
But it's hard for me to see
Tomorrow's but a dream
'Cause today's reality is right in front of me
They say you'll never make
They say you can never change it
What you are is what you'll always be
They say that I should give up
Once you're down you'll never get up
But that's not the truth for me
No!
Who the son sets free
You best believe it's free indeed
Wanna take it to the streets
My Lord Delivered me
Who the son sets free
You best believe it's free indeed
Wanna dance and shout and scream
I'm free indeed!
F.r.e.e
Free
Fr.e.e
Free
Gonna tell the world what he did for me
I've tried and tried and tried
To make this mountain step aside
Or to climb it on my own
But what you did has more than helped
Do what I couldn't do myself
You said that I was not alone
Then I thought I'd never make
Then you can along and then you changed it
Made a way somehow and brought me through
As I was just about to give up
You took me hand said baby get up
Now here I am because of you
Stand beause of you!
Who the son sets free
You best believe it's free indeed
Wanna take it to the streets
My Lord Delivered me
Who the son sets free
You best believe it's free indeed
Wanna dance and shout and scream
I'm free indeed!
F.r.e.e
Free
Fr.e.e
Free
Fr.e.e
Free
Gonna tell the world what he did for me
If you need a friend to the very end
To be there by you side
To get you through the hard times
The dark times of your life
To bring you into the dawn
He's the one your lookin for
Your Savior
Your deliver
Lord delivered me
Free
Free
Free
Who the son sets free
You best believe it's free indeed
Wanna take it to the streets
My Lord Delivered me
Who the son sets free
You best believe it's free indeed
Wanna dance and shout and scream
I'm free indeed!
"Free" by Mandisa is an empowering song that speaks to the freedom we have in Christ. From its catchy chorus to its powerful lyrics, this song resonates with believers who have experienced the transforming power of God in their lives.
The song starts with the repetition of the word "free," emphasizing the freedom that Mandisa has found in Christ. This theme of freedom is prevalent throughout the entire song, as she declares, "Who the Son sets free, you best believe it's free indeed." This line is a direct reference to John 8:36, where Jesus says, "So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed." It's a reminder that when we surrender our lives to Jesus, we are set free from the bondage of sin and shame.
Mandisa's lyrics also touch on the struggles we face as believers. She sings, "They say you'll never make it, they say you can never change it." These words reflect the negative voices and doubts that we often hear from the world. But Mandisa counters these lies with the truth of God's Word. She affirms, "That's not the truth for me, no!" This reminds us of Romans 12:2, which encourages us to not conform to the pattern of this world, but to be transformed by the renewing of our minds. We are no longer defined by what others say about us, but by who God says we are.
The song also speaks to the power of God to bring us through difficult times. Mandisa sings, "I've tried and tried and tried, to make this mountain step aside." This imagery of a mountain represents the challenges and obstacles we face in life. But she goes on to declare, "But what you did has more than helped, do what I couldn't do myself." This echoes the words of Psalm 121:1-2, which says, "I lift up my eyes to the mountains—where does my help come from? My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth." It's a reminder that we don't have to face our struggles alone; God is with us, and He is able to do far more than we could ever imagine.
The song concludes with a powerful declaration of freedom. Mandisa sings, "If you need a friend to the very end, to be there by your side, to get you through the hard times, the dark times of your life, to bring you into the dawn, He's the one you're looking for, your Savior, your deliverer." These lyrics remind us of the promise in Hebrews 13:5, where God says, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you." We can find true freedom and deliverance in Christ, knowing that He is always with us and will never abandon us.
"Free" by Mandisa is a song of hope, encouragement, and liberation. It reminds us of the freedom we have in Christ and encourages us to live in the truth of God's Word. It is a reminder that no matter what we face in life, we can find freedom and deliverance in Him. So let's embrace the freedom that Christ offers and share this message of hope with the world.
