Once I was free in the shackles of sin: Free to be tempted, just bound to give in; Free to be captive to any desire; Free to eternally burn in hell’s fire.‘ Til Someone bought me and called me His slave: Bound by commands I am free to obey; Captive by beauty I’m free to adore-- Sentenced to sit at His feet evermore.

About This Quote

The first time I realized how much I loved God was when I was in the shackles of sin. God gave me the freedom to be tempted, just bound to give in. Then He bought me and called me His slave. Those shackles of sin are gone now.

I am not free to fall into temptation, but I am free to obey His commands. That is why I am free to follow Him and worship Him.
