An original hymn about agency / freedom with text by Kathryn W. Hales below.  Watch on YouTube: Freedom

Freedom is a seed placed
Within the heart of every man,
That he may know the truths revealed
And keep all God’s commands.

Freedom is a sprouting root
Anchored in the soil of time,
Ingesting the Father’s divine word,
Nourishment sublime.

Freedom is a rising stem
Reaching upward to the sun,
Agency to choose the light,
A gift from the Holy One.

Freedom is the tree of life
Grown strong throughout the years,
Through faith in the name of Jesus Christ,
Shading us from all our fears.

Freedom is the delicious fruit
Of everlasting life,
A gift of love to all who endure
Mortal pain and strife.

From seed to sprout,
From stem to tree,
Freedom’s pure, delicious fruit
Is God’s gift to me.
