I NEED YOU AND YOU ALONE!

Freedom By Run Kid Run

All my chains I can't disengage 

And I don't believe that I want to 

One hand sings your praise 

The other brings me shame 

I have selfishness to blame 

And I'm singing for freedom 

I know I'm not the only one 

Praying to the one 

Who can bring me this freedom 

I'm ready for change 

Broken down I lay I keep holding my chains 

No long bound but here I stay 

I scream Father please I need rescuing 

I need You and You alone 

And I'm singing for freedom 

I know I'm not the only one 

Praying to the one 

Who can bring me this freedom 

I'm ready for (change) 

Still You patiently await 

Yet I won't just let go 

I see You and You alone 

Saying freedom 

And so I'm singing for freedom 

The time has come separation lost the war to love 

Take my hand gace has found you where You once began 

You're Alive! You're Alive! in the waking of new life 

Take my hand in the end there's only love 

There's only love 

There's only singing for freedom 

I know I'm not only one 

Praying to the One 

Who can bring me this freedom 

I'm ready for I'm ready for... 

Father please I need rescuing 

I need You and You alone 

Powerful Words, I know. This song is so amazing to me. It shows just how desperate we are without God and how we can't do anything about it because of our Sinful Nature. We just can't get rid of these chains that drag us down. It speaks of a life that is yearning for Freedom that can only come from God, and we try our best to get there, Sining praise to God one one hand, and then the other is bringing shame to us. We are all ready for change in our Spiritual lives at some time or another. Some might believe that this song is just about an unbeliever coming to God, but in my opinion, it can even be the person who has grown up as a Christian all of his or her life (theres lots of us out there, me too) and finding no more PASSION for God and the Christian Life. To be brutally honest, I get that way at times. I feel like I do all these things as "a Christian" but I don't have the spark that once lit my life on FIRE for God. I need to "Scream Father Please, I need rescueing. I need You and You alone" sometimes, just so I don't take my life for granted. 

I love how God is Patiently waiting for us to Scream that we NEED Him. The Bridge is so AMAZING to me; The Time has come, seperation lost the war to Love. When we bow down at His feet and say I Need You,  Love wins over seperation from God. Its all God's Grace. We become Alive in a New Life.
