At our last debrief in Cape Town our squad had a creative open mic night. I wrote this to share with the squad and with you.
It’s based on Galatians 4:6-7.
“And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, ‘Abba! Father!’ So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir through God.”
Beloved
You are my son, my son
My daughter, my daughter
My child, I love you
I love you as your Father
Cry Abba Father
Cry Abba Father
The Spirit of my Son says cry Abba Father
My son, my daughter, you are not a slave
No longer in darkness, you are not a slave
No bondage, beloved, you are not a slave
Adopted beloved, for my Son I gave
Enter my promise, my arms, my rest
Receive my good gifts, love, my inheritance
My child, I love you
Do you know how I love you
My child, I love you, I love you, I love you
Now listen, my son
Take heart, my daughter
Receive my truth
Hear these words from your Father
You are free
You are free
You are free
You are free
For freedom, beloved, you have been set free
Now live, beloved, as one set free
Chains broken, shackles gone
You’re no longer a slave, love
Your shackles are gone
Burdens lifted, veils removed
Adopted beloved, it is finished, you’re approved
My child, my heir, receive my love and my Spirit
Cry Abba Father through my Son and my Spirit
Walk in freedom, beloved son
You are free, beloved daughter
You are free, my child
Receive the love of your Father
