Freedom in Christ
Author: Sadie Sterling Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #7842 Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal First Line: A long time I struggled with conflicts within Refrain First Line: I longed to be free, oh, I longed to be free! Lyrics: 1 A long time I struggled with conflicts within,
I longed to be free from the burden of sin,
My heart was so wayward tho’ oft I had tried
To yield up my will to the dear Crucified.
Refrain:
I longed to be free, oh, I longed to be free!
From bondage and sin, how I longed to be free!
2 I heard the glad story of pardon so free,
And mercy abundant for sinners like me;
But pride was my master, I stilled my heart’s moan,
And went on my way, feeling sad, and so lone. [Refrain]
3 At last His love conquered, I flew to His breast,
And cried in my anguish, O Lord, give me rest!
I heard His sweet voice say, Fear not, I am near,
Thy prayer I have answered, thy pardon is here. [Refrain]
No longer in sadness or sorrow I roam,
My Savior goes with me, my heart is His home;
I tell Him my troubles, and all that alarms,
He whispers most sweetly, Come, hide in My arms.

My chains have been broken, I know I am free!

I tell Him my troubles, and all that alarms,
He whispers most sweetly, “Come, hide in my arms.”
And now I am free, yes, I know I am free!
My chains have been broken, I know I am free!
