Freedom’s Dream

freedoms-dream-album-cover

Our first album includes the first song God gave me, “Never Alone.” I truly believed after God gave me this song, that it would be “one and done.” But, He gave me song after song and it was amazing to see how God gave me songs as an answer to every struggle I was going through in learning to walk with Him. 

The cover song, “Freedom’s Dream” was given to me on Martin Luther King Jr’s birthday and is such great reminder to me that I am free from the slavery of sin. We are walking in freedom towards the Promised Land! 

I was so blessed to have my daughter, Grace, add her beautiful harmonies to several of the songs. The extraordinarily talented Jacob Paul, is the man behind the music in nearly every song we’ve written—on both albums and all the singles we’ve released. He is the most talented musician I know and I’m grateful God has allowed us to join in making music for His glory!

Freedom's Dream Album

LYRICS

VERSE 1

A man down in Memphis in ’63, said “I have a dream” (set them free)
That all God’s children in slavery they would be free (set them free)
He wasn’t afraid to stand up, ‘cause his love didn’t end with him (I have a dream)
And He laid down his life one day; for Freedom’s Dream (set them free)
Freedom’s Dream (I have a dream)

CHORUS 1

Freedom’s Dream (set my people free)
The Gift of Faith and sacrifice (I have a dream)
Freedom’s Dream born of Jesus Christ (set them free)
Born of Jesus Christ, oh Freedom’s Dream, Freedom’s Dream
(I have a dream, set them free, I have a dream)

VERSE 2

Courage to fight to the death, on the sands of Normandy
The waves washed away their blood and tears; far out to sea
(the brave and the free)
‘Cause they gave their very last breath; oh for Freedom’s Dream
(the brave and the free)
Freedom’s Dream (let freedom ring, the brave and the free)

CHORUS

Freedom’s Dream, The Gift of Faith and sacrifice (oh can you see?)
Freedom’s Dream born from Jesus Christ (let freedom ring)
Born of Jesus Christ, oh Freedom’s Dream, Freedom’s Dream
(let freedom ring, the brave and the free; let freedom ring)

VERSE 3

His love stained a cross where He died; at a place called Calvary
He crashed the gates of hell with victory; so we could be free
And he lives in the lives of His children; whose cause doesn’t end with
them
And we can live our very last breath; oh, for Freedom’s Dream
Freedom’s Dream

CHORUS

Freedom’s Dream (no more death) The Gift of Faith and sacrifice (he set you free)
Freedom’s dream born of Jesus Chris, born of Jesus Christ of Freedom’s Dream
(He set you free, he set you free, set you free; Freedom’s Dream)
Freedom’s Dream, born of Jesus Christ of Freedom’s Dream (he set you free)
(Repeat and fade)

VERSE 1

Child of God, are you livin?
Lost and blinded by this old world
Which promised you Heaven; but left you standin’
With nothin’; nothin’ worth having

CHORUS 1

When we fall on our knees and pray away the dark
Oh His love, grace and mercy becomes our heart
Then we can chase away the darkness for the empty soul
And bring them to Jesus; so they find His Peace and Rest

VERSE 2

So tired of empty religion; hurting those that fall down
We judge our brother; and shut out the Light
Time fades away (oh how it fades); Like souls passing us by
Do they see Jesus loving and giving through me; Oh God, I need to be…

CHORUS 2

Falling on my knees and praying away the dark
Till your love, grace and mercy becomes my heart
Then I can chase away the darkness for the empty soul
And bring them to Jesus; so they find His Peace and Rest, His Peace and Rest

VERSE 3

Battle on now warriors; don’t let your brothers down
Stand up together, ‘cause someday we’ll stand down
When the battle is over (oh when it’s over); and our Savior takes us on
home
But until then let me listen for that still small voice; whispering softly to me

CHORUS 2

When I fall on my knees and pray away the dark; oh your love, grace and mercy becomes my heart
Then I can chase away the darkness for the empty soul
And bring them to Jesus; so they find His Peace and Rest
I want to bring them to you Jesus; so they find His Peace and Rest
Oh Peace and Rest

VERSE 1

Abba Father, this is all I want to do
I give my heart to you
This is all I want to do

Abba Father, this is all I want to do
Just give my heart to you

VERSE 3

Abba Father, you show your love through me
Abba Father, use me to make them free
Abba Father, I give my heart to you
Abba Father, this is all I want to do

This is all I want to do
Just give my heart to you
Abba Father

VERSE 1
You wanna little love and some harmony
You wanna rise out of the ashes; live down by the sea
When you give it all up; then you’ll find it
And you’ll find that perfect peace that comes when you believe
So, run straight to Him

CHORUS
Come On In
Come right On In

VERSE 2
Wanna just survive; barely makin’ it through the day
Or smile at the world; livin’ in His perfect Grace

So, run straight to Him

CHORUS
Come On In, Come right On In
Come On In, ‘Cause His arms are open, so Come On In

VERSE 3
Don’t you live your whole life just to get comfortable
God’s got a plan for you to live a miracle

Come On In, Come right On In
Come On In, His arms are open, He says Come On In
Run straight to Him, his arms are open
He says Come On In
Come On In, Come right On In (repeat and fade)

CHORUS
Pray and get out of the way
I can still hear my momma say
God’s got a plan and He won’t mess it up
You don’t have to worry, believe in His love
He’s already done it so we can do it right
Darlin’ just pray and get out of the way

VERSE 1
Oh, she’s got a heart of gold and nerves of steel
Taught me ‘bout Jesus and what was real
She gave me her time even when the times were hard
Loved her neighbor and gave him her heart

CHORUS
Pray and get out of the way; I can still hear my momma say
God’s got a plan and He won’t mess it up
You don’t have to worry believe in His love
He’s already done it so we can do it right
Darlin’ just pray and get out of the way, Oh, just pray!

VERSE 2
Now don’t you go livin’ your own way
God will light the road up when you start to pray
Don’t you stumble down that dark lonely road
You never have to face those giants alone, when you…

CHORUS
Pray! Get out of the way; I can still hear my momma say;
God’s got a plan and He won’t mess it up
You don’t have to worry believe in His love
He’s already done it so we can do it right; Darlin’ just pray and get out of the way;
Just pray, Get down on your knees child and pray

VERSE 3
Now don’t you get locked up in that prison of hate
Forgive each other that’s Jesus’ way
Unlock the gate and let go the pain
Shout for joy because He breaks our chains, when we…

CHORUS
Pray! Get out of the way; I can still hear my momma say;
God’s got a plan and He won’t mess it up
You don’t have to worry believe in His love;
He’s already done it so we can do it right
Darlin’ just pray and get out of the way;
Just Pray, Get out of the Way, Just Pray!

VERSE 1

Hard to see Your love today, shattered souls lyin all around
Fear grips us all, as the world is crashin down
Put our faith in politics, money and the sword
‘Cause our faith ain’t real enough to lead them to the Lord…And

CHORUS 1

We’re not alone, we’re safely held in His strong arms
So we can, dance away the fears in the face of any storm
And we cry like a child when the darkness closes in
Then His Light shines in, and we’re Never Alone, whoa-ohx2

VERSE 2

Critics say we’re crazy, we don’t live in reality
Faith says believe in a future you cannot see
Soon your eyes will see the future you believed
And trouble is only, as big as you want to be

CHORUS

We’re not alone, we’re safely held in His strong arms
So we can, dance away the fears in the face of any storm
And we cry like a child when the darkness closes in
Then His Light shines in, and we’re Never Alone (whoa-ohx2)

BRIDGE

Oh, we’re Never Alone; Never Alone
Oh God, I wanna light up the world
Bring them to the solid Rock, oh
Show them the hope of the cross because
Ain’t in no money, no bright lights or glory, oh no, we need to tell them…

CHORUS 2

They’re not alone, they’re safely held in His strong arms
So they can dance the away the fears in the face of any storm
And when they cry like a child when the darkness closes in
Then His Light shines in, and they’re Never Alone, Never Alone
No, they’re Never Alone, oh Never Alone, Never Alone

VERSE 1

If I were gone tomorrow would those I leave behind
See the love of Jesus shining in my life.
If I were gone tomorrow don’t shed any tears
Let the memory I leave you drive away your fears.

CHORUS 1

Oh His love leaves a legacy far beyond our years
Yes, His love leaves a legacy casting out our fears
Oh His legacy of love soars beyond death and eternity

VERSE 2

If I could relive yesterday would I choose regret
Cause pain & sorrow to anyone I met
Oh if I could relive yesterday would I let love define my life
Or live mediocrity just to survive

CHORUS

Oh His love leaves a legacy far beyond our years
Yes, His love leaves a legacy casting out our fears
Oh His legacy of love soars beyond death and eternity

VERSE 3

As the day passes before you what choices will you make
Give love to your neighbor: sow seeds of hate
Oh life is never sweeter than every breath above
when each day is lived in his legacy of love

CHORUS 

Oh His love leaves a legacy far beyond our years
Yes, His love leaves a legacy casting out our fears
Oh His legacy of love soars beyond death and eternity (repeat)

VERSE 1
Are you running from the fear His love will change
Searching for treasure just to stop the pain?
His mercy heals your broken heart; His love gently leads us away
And He holds our hearts in his nail-scarred hands and gives us blessed peace…

CHORUS 1
When we fall on our knees and pray away the dark
Oh, His love, grace, and mercy becomes our heart
Then we can chase away the darkness for the empty soul
And bring them to you Lord so they find His Peace and Rest

VERSE 2
So tired of empty religion; hurting those that fall down
We judge our brother and shut out all the Light
Time fades away (oh how it fades); Like souls that are passin’ us by
Do they see Jesus loving and giving through me; Oh God, I need to be…

CHORUS 2
Falling on my knees and praying away the dark
‘Til your love, grace and mercy becomes my heart
Then I can chase away the darkness for the empty soul
And bring them to Jesus; so they find His Peace and Rest
His Peace and Rest..

VERSE 3
Battle on now warriors, don’t let your brothers down
Stand up together ‘cause someday we’ll stand down
When the battle is over (oh when it’s over) and our Savior takes us on home
But until then let me listen for that still small voice whispering softly to me

CHORUS 2
When I fall on my knees and pray away the dark
Oh your love, grace and mercy becomes my heart
Then I can chase away the darkness for the empty soul
And bring them to Jesus so they find His Peace and Rest
I want to bring them to Jesus; so they find His Peace and Rest
Oh Peace and Rest, Mmm

VERSE 1

What do they say about me? Does he think I’m pretty?
Will Daddy still love me? Did I disappoint my children?

CHORUS

I don’t know all the answers and in the end it only matters
That I’ve lived my life knowing I’m The One Jesus Loves

VERSE 2

Who will I marry? Will I have any children?
Do I have enough money? Am I loved by my neighbors?

CHORUS

I don’t know all the answers and in the end it only matters
That I’ve lived my life knowing I’m The One Jesus Loves

BRIDGE

Not because of what I’ve done; but because of what He did
There is freedom in His love; and I can love because I’m The One Jesus Loves

VERSE 3

I was the woman at the well; the sheep He left His flock to find
The wretched sinner He died for; broken down and empty hearted

CHORUS + BRIDGE Repeat

I don’t have any answers and in the end what really matters that I finally got to know him
I’m The One Jesus Loves
Not because of what I’ve done; but because of what He did
There is freedom in His love; and I can love because I’m The One Jesus Loves
Oh I’m The One Jesus Loves

VERSE 1

Listen now for the baby’s cry
You won’t hear it ‘cause you took his life
Gone to heaven where the angels sing
They’re kissing the face of the innocent
She’ll never hold her baby in her arms
And daddy will never see her sweet smile
In fear they sent her out death’s cold door
Now in their heart she cries

VERSE 2

Maybe you haven’t made your mind up yet
Not tossed a life away in endless regret
Believe in life, someone believed in you
And gave sweet life for your innocence

VERSE 3

Don’t listen to the lies that they tell
Her heart beats and she knows you well
She is alive and although you cannot see
Or hold her tenderly
The storms are raging in your heart I know
But God will take care of you both
He knew you both from before time began
And He listens to the cry of the innocent

VERSE 4

He’ll give you joy, make your dreams come true
There’s nothin’ that He wouldn’t do
He sent His only Son to die for you
So you can give your love for the innocent
Oh God please help us save the innocent.
