Freedom's Slave
Verse 1
The Son of God to the cross has gone
His closest friends have scattered
Triumphant welcomes distant fade
God’s earthly rule seems shattered
Where O God is the justice here
For those who longed to follow
The hope he offered drowns in tears
And heartless dawns tomorrow
Verse 2
But wait this tale has more to tell
Than force’s domination
His light of silent dignity
Shines through humiliation
Death on Him is not imposed
Whose power exceeds all kingdoms
Obedience to death he chose
A slave to serve our freedom
Verse 3
And now this glorious Prince of Life
Does more than teach examples
As He ascends to His throne above
All sin and hell lie trampled
Where O death is your victory
Since Jesus overwhelmed you
God’s silent revolution’ry
Has once for all expelled you
Verse 4
Come share the joy of an empty grave
That fills to overflowing
And face your fears in the certainty
Of your own resurrection
Though our hearts are scarred and frail
Through darkness he is leading
To stand against His enemies
And enter life and healing
Dave Whitcroft, Thomas Moore
