In 2007, Dan was the guest speaker for an ACA (Asuncion Christian Academy) youth camp and wrote this song as his theme. The talks were based on Galations 2:20, how our crucifixion with Christ reforms our identity. Listen to the song by clicking on the "how's life?" cd cover icon in the left hand column. Below are the lyrics to "Free to Live!" Enjoy.
Up that hill to Calvary you went.
You went there to pay the price for all my sin.
And there you died, crucified, thank you Jesus Christ!
When you went to the cross you took me there with you.
You knew my name and of all the sin I’d do.
And there I died, crucified, with you Jesus Christ!
CHORUS
With you I’ve died, my crucified Christ
Free from the law’s condemnation, dead to sin’s temptation
In you, I am made new
I won’t live for my-self anymore…
I’m free to live for you.
Now the Old-Me has gone and the New-Me is here to stay.
I want to Die to My-self and live for you every day.
Take my life, Jesus Christ, You’ve bought me with a price!
BRIDGE
I’m a new creature in you (3x)
I’m a new creature!
Dan and Sarah,
ReplyDeletewhat a fantastic blog you've created. The heading is so beautiful and I love the pictures. My favorite so far is Luis' song. Can you put some more audio or even visual of paraguay and of your family? I think it would help me feel that you're closer:)
