Freedom Isn't Free

A little boy playing by a river,
He is having a good time and close to his caregiver.
He chooses to inch closer to the water,
Which was just enough to make him totter.
The boy falls in,
He screams because he's in a tail spin.
His father jumps in and grabs him,
They make it to the edge through it was starting to look grim.
The boy is unharmed,
The father who took most of the blows is far from charmed.
Freedom isn't free.

An old man swings on a bench,
He thinks back to a time when he was in a trench.
He was safe and having fun with his buddies,
One friend had just told a joke that was funny.
Suddenly a grenade appeared,
A sight which is truly feared.
The man did not have time to react,
He just tried to brace for impact.
The dust settled and he saw his friend,
Over the grenade was dead. He wept because his friend was a godsend.
Freedom isn't free.

A young girl sits in her room,
She's reading her Bible so she can bloom.
She opens up to a page,
Which makes her fill with rage.
It tells the story of a man who was falsely accused,
Which caused him to be bruised.
The people chose a murderer over him,
Which made the girl's head spin.
Then the man was put on a cross,
He could have called angels to save him because he was their boss.
The man chose to die for our sins but rose again,
And forever that man will reign.
Freedom isn't free.

You are free to choose,
Will you follow the man who died for you and rose again, or will you snooze?
If you choose to follow your sin,
I guarantee you, you will not win.
Freedom isn't free.

You have a choice,
How will you use your voice?
Will you follow Jesus who bought your freedom?
Freedom isn't free.

John 8:36, 1 Peter 3:15, John 11:25
