FREEDOM

You make me leap from tree to tree

So that no one can catch me

You make me soar above the rooftops

You send me flying all over the sky


You make me weightless, careless, totally free

Unencumbered, unhindered, like a bubble on the wind


I soar above the problems, above the calamities, above the chaos

I gain new heights like an eagle, where no one can touch me

No one can bring me down when I'm flying this high, with you


You give me wind and I climb higher

Up and up so that I'm closer to you

Flying above the mountain, into the heavens, to where you are


I see you in all your radiance, the light of your face is almost blinding

You are HUGE, magnanimous, totally glorious and holy

I have never seen anything LIKE you, you take my breath away

I fall at your feet as though dead

I am so overwhelmed by your presence


You lift me up and hold me in your huge arms

I feel safe, I feel cared for, I feel so incredibly loved, like I have never felt before

You hold me close to your chest and rock me like a mother rocks her child

You tell me that you are watching over me, you are protecting me


And everything seems to be alright at last

I have found the safety I have always been looking for, always wanted

I feel totally accepted, totally loved, totally adored


But you set me down and tell me my time on earth is not done yet

I still have to tell more people your good news

I have to be a light and shine for you


Sadly I leave your presence and fly back down to earth

Back to the war zone, back to the chaos and the fighting

Back to the darkness and the pain


But I know I will see you again someday

I know I will be with you forever, resting in your huge arms

I will laugh with you and talk with you beside a clear steam

With a cool breeze blowing over us that makes my skin tingle


We will tell jokes someday together, you and I

And you will hold me in your arms and never have to let me go again

And we will eat the most amazing fruit I will have ever tasted

And go on the most amazing rides all over heaven


You will thrill me and amaze me

And you will be my forever best friend


But I can wait

I can stay here and keep telling people how much you love them

I will do whatever you want me to do

But I am so excited to be with you forever


I love you more than words can say daddy, best friend, lover, my God
