Well, I can't find a video with this song, so you'll have to look it up on your own.  Thanks to Naomi for playing it yesterday on the way back from Eastland...I hadn't heard this song in years, and it (like many others songs) is cheesy in a way, but some of these words are quite fitting for my life these days.

"Free" by Ginny Owens

Turnin' molehills into mountains
Makin' big deals out of small ones
Bearing gifts as if they're burdens
This is how it's been
Afraid of coming out of my shell
Too many things I can't do too well
Afraid I'll try real hard
And I'll fail
This is how it's been
Till the day You pounded on my heart's door
And You shouted joyfully
You're not a slave anymore!


You're free to dance
Forget about your two left feet
And you're free to sing
Even joyful noise is music to Me
You're free to love
'Cause I've given you My love
And it's made you free
I have set you free!


My mind finds hard to believe
That You became humanity and
Changed the course of history
Because You loved us so
And my heart cannot understand
How You accept me as I am
But You say You've always had a plan
And that's all I need to know
So when I am consumed
With what the world will say
Then You're singing to me, as You remove
my chains


Free from worry
Free from envy and denial
Free to live, free to give, free to smile
