My head was upraised
My neck stiff and arrogant
The world was my home
Self sat comfortably on
the throne
I went with the flow
Canoed the murky river
Yet Someone called my name
It was an odd voice
I heard it once before
When a gospel salesman
came to my door
A salesman not greedy for
the stuff of this earth
His heart was an open door
But I stiffened
This second time I turned
to listen
The voice came through a
gospel singer
He sang and spoke of
freedom
I ran to the cross
Exchanged the chains that
engulfed me
For a crown
Jesus saved me
Not through an effort of
my own
But through His sacrifice
alone
Now I climb the mountain
Swim against the tide
Now I choose to bring the
gospel far and wide
Grace is the Banner over
me
Christ’s blood set me free
