The Worshipbook ‎#535

535. Oh, Freedom!

1. Oh, freedom! oh, freedom!
oh, freedom for me!
And before I'd be a slave,
I'd be buried in my grave,
And go home to my Lord and be free.

2. Dying sinner! dying sinner!
dying sinner all my days!
And before I'd be a slave,
I'd be buried in my grave,
And go home to my Lord and be free.

3. Trusting Jesus! trusting Jesus!
trusting Jesus all my days!
And before I'd be a slave,
I'd be buried in my grave,
And go home to my Lord and be free.
