Video: “Set You Free” – Nomos

If you did, if you did, even if you did…  Been where you shouldn’t have been, Seen what you shouldn’t have seen, Dreamed what you shouldn’t have dreamed, that doesn’t mean you have to be locked up here forever.  I’m going to set you free.

—

And if you did, if you did, even if you did…  Done what you shouldn’t have done, Run when you shouldn’t have run, Lost when you shouldn’t have won, that doesn’t mean you have to be paying the price forever.  I’m going to set you free.

—

And if you did, if you did, only if you did…  Strayed from the beaten track, Maybe you never got back, Went in off the black, that doesn’t mean you have to be lying around here forever.  I’m going to set you free.

—

Ah if you did, if you did, even if you did…  Suffered from a broken heart, Got off to a poor start, Maybe you fell apart, that doesn’t mean you have to be paying the price forever.  I’m going to set you free.

—

And if you did, if you did, even if you did…  Known what you shouldn’t have known, Shown what you shouldn’t have shown, Thrown what you shouldn’t have thrown, that doesn’t mean you have to be lying around here forever.  I’m going to set you free.

—

Ah if you did, if you did, even if you did…  Been where you shouldn’t have been, Seen what you shouldn’t have seen, Dreamed what you shouldn’t have dreamed, that doesn’t mean you have to be locked up here forever.  I’m going to set you free.

Video: “Deliverer” – Audrey Assad

You are not possessive, You respect all things
You are not invasive, You have no envy
You are not insistent, You do not force me
You are not controlling, You make me free indeed

You’re my deliverer, You’re my deliverer.  You won’t pass me by.

Your law is freedom and mercy is Your rule
Though You dwell within me, I can’t contain You

In the ruins of my heart, You preach to the poor
Turning over stones to show me there is more
More than all I ask, more than I’m looking for
In the ruins of my heart

Video: “Land of the Living” – Roo Panes

Where they go
That we shall cherish and that I wrestle
Don’t want to be like the dust that settles
This empire of nothing
I find that I’m king of all these empty homes
That are ruled by my own flaws
But you can’t be an old fire
If you are burning with a new flame

So remember that, you are never a forgotten name
Cause I know a land called the land of the living
It’s the world beyond those curtains where we learned to play
I hear the voices of my childhood singing it’s the world beyond those doorways
Where we use to play

Cause every moment
Is a chance to define what you want to become
You’re not a slave to things you’ve done
Be brave and be bold
Be childish and old it’s the same old story
Every life needs a hope of glory
But you can’t be an old fire
If you’re burning with a new flame

I was born to be free, you were born to free me

Cause I know a land called the land of the living
It’s the world beyond those curtains where we learned to play
I hear the voices of my childhood singing it’s the world beyond those doorways
Where we use to play
I know a land called the land of the living
It’s the world beyond those curtains where we learned to play
Oh we’ll go back, we’ll go back to the beginning
And we’ll pick up on the trails of forgotten ways

Song: “Finally” – Gungor

Call me back into the silence, into the sunlight.

Every breath a standing defiance of death and of clamor; Let darkness be scattered now.

I’ll be here waiting in silence, waiting for sunlight to make all the world shine bright.

All the stars fall in line and the seas bow their heads.  We remember our dead and we sing another day.

As the silence, it grows and the worlds fade away; All the sons empty their graves.

We will sing another day.

Questions:

• Compare and contrast physical, emotional and spiritual freedom
• Can you find examples in today’s lesson where faith in Christ has brought each of these types of freedom to someone?
• Explain what you think is meant by the line, “I was born to be free; you were born to free me.”
