I have had a version of this song for a long time but finally found its rightful groove. This is one of my favorite song I have written.
lyrics
Out of Bondage
William True Sleeper
Out of bondage, sorrow and night, Into freedom, gladness, and light,
Out of sickness, into Your health,
Out of my want, into Your wealth,
Out of my sin, failure and loss,
Into glory, gain of the cross,
Out of sorrows into Your balm,
Out of life’s storms, into Your calm,
(Chorus)
You created us to love You and to praise You
So amazing
Then You saved us in Your glory never ending
So amazing
Out of unrest and arrogant pride,
Into Your blessed, will to abide,
Out of myself, to dwell in Your love,
Out of despair, raptures above,
Out of the fear, and dread of the tomb,
Into the joy, light of Your throne,
Out of the depths, of ruin untold,
Into the peace, Your sheltering fold,
(Chorus)
Bridge:
Jesus I come to Thee, because You first chose me
(Chorus)
