Author: Sadie Sterling Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: A long time I struggled with conflicts within 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, though oft I had tried To yield up my will to the dear Crucified. 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. I longed to be free, oh, I longed to be free! From bondage and sin, how I longed to be free! 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 pray’r I have answered, thy pardon is here.” And now I am free, yes, I know I am free! My chains have been broken, I know I am free! 4 No longer in sadness or sorrow I roam, My Saviour 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.” And now I am free, yes, I know I am free! My chains have been broken, I know I am free! Used With Tune: [A long time I struggled with conflicts within]
