The Freedom Within
By Casandra Lambert
(Verse 1)
Two men in a prison cell, named Scott and Johnny Lee.
One was put in innocently, the other came from Bob Jones University.
They’re both Christians in a jail house facing the hardest days.
Through the midst of all their troubles they found themselves singing “It Is Well with My Soul”
After singing for a while, some of the men started talking
And soon enough many were saved.
Even Though They Were In Prison…
(Chorus)
The freedom within them cries out
The freedom within them sings praises to God.
Even though they were bounded by chains
The freedom within them cries out
For they are finally free from their sin!
(Verse 2)
Two men in a prison cell, named Paul and Silas
Both were put in innocently for preaching the gospel in the streets.
They were the only Christians in the jail house, and they were facing maybe death.
In the darkest of the night they started singing and praising God.
While they were singing God caused the earth to shake.
The quake was so great that all the chains and doors broke loose.
The jailer thought they all escaped, and was about to take his life
Till Paul spoke up and stopped him, then led the man to Christ.
Even though they were bounded by chains…
(Chorus)
The freedom within them cries out
The freedom within them sings praises to God.
Even though they were bounded by chains
The freedom within them cries out
For they are finally free from their sin!
(Bridge)
You still may be bounded by sins chains,
You too can share our freedom within.
(Last Chorus)
The freedom within us cries out
The freedom within us sings praises to God.
Even though we were bounded by sins chains
The freedom within us cries out
For we are finally free from our sin
Yes God set us free from our sin!
This song was written during a time when my family and I were facing the hardship of my uncle going to prison. The longer he's been in, the more people he's led to Christ. While praying for him and thinking about it all. The story in the Bible of Paul and Silas came to mind. And thus my first song was written.
