Freedom's Road

One day I came to the end of the road and in sin, I felt so lost. I had nowhere left to turn and run I stood facing a rugged cross.

I knew this life had still a lot to offer, yet the emptiness I felt inside; now drew me to that rugged cross, where now I could not hide.

With this entire world laid out before me, the time now came to choose. Would I now accept this sacrifice or decide again to lose?

While thinking about my destiny, I wondered about that light. Would I ever come to this cross again, or would it finally fade from sight?

All these things were going through my mind, but I knew it from the start. Now I had to make the choice, He was knocking at my heart.

I looked back at the fun I had, as a child these ways seemed right. Yet as I faced that rugged cross, His truth came shining bright.

Tears began to fill my eyes, and I knew what had to be done. I knelt before the rugged cross, and accepted God’s dear Son.

All of a sudden, I felt inside, as though my life was clean. It was like being healed of blindness; His truth could now be seen.

Right then I knew that I had found life, and hell had suffered loss. For there I received eternal life, at the foot of the rugged cross.

The blood of Jesus washed me clean, and His joy it filled my soul. I know I made the right choice, God showed me where to go.

So many times, He called my name but I was too blind to see, until He brought me to the cross where Jesus set me free.
