TRUE FREEDOM <\/p>\n

You claim that you’re so free,
\nSmoking on a drug-filled pipe,
\nBut I’ve really gotta tell you,
\nThat’s all just a load of tripe.<\/p>\n

What you have is a delusion,
\nIt’s not true freedom at all,
\nSomeday you will drop dead,
\nAnd miss that Heavenly Call.<\/p>\n

True freedom is in the Spirit,
\nUnleashed from death and sin,
\nAnd if you want to obtain it,
\nYou must ask the Lord Jesus in.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
