Over the last few months I’ve been trying to focus on who I am in Christ. A Google search a while ago found a very useful list of scriptures on https://joycemeyer.org/ . The list can be found here .
Its been on my heart to write songs based on these scriptures as I explore what they mean for me. Yesterday I spent many hours singing and playing and in time a song emerged which is on its way to being finished.
The key scriptures were:
I am alive with Christ (Ephesians 2:5).
I am free from the law of sin and death (Romans 8:2).
I am far from oppression, and will not live in fear (Isaiah 54:14).
These eventually became lyrics and then a song. The lyrics still need a bit of tidying up but I thought I’d share them here.
I am Alive
I am free from the law of sin and death The Holy Spirit lives in me I am dead to my sin and alive in Christ The Holy Spirit lives in me
I am alive, I am alive, I am Alive!
I am free from my fear, for He’s my peace The Holy Spirit lives in me And my trust is in Him, for He is my rock The Holy spirit lives in me
I am free, I am free, I am free!
For God within me
is greater than he
that is in the world.
I look back at my plans for this year and although I’ve accomplished so much, none of it has been on the song writing or recording front.
We’ve had a load of work done to the house and that has pretty much put everything on the back burner. I’ve also seen an increase in the prophetic when I worship both from myself and from others as well.
All in all its been a good year, but not in the way I expected.
