Me Free
©2006 Matthew A. Gray
Eve was deceived, but Adam
perceived
The truth of what God had told him
His eyes were wide open, but he was still hopin’
That somehow this sin wouldn’t hold him
As my father’s son, I continue
to run
Straight to the poison-filled fruit
Though I’m well aware, I don’t seem to care
The symptoms of sin are acute
Chorus 1: Set
me free from self-destruction
Let me see Your greater power
Work in me Your true salvation
May I be safe in this hour
Day turns to night, marking
flight after flight
Away from the One Who has bought me
Though I know that I must, I just can’t seem to trust
In the strength of this love that has caught me
Still I hope for the day
when I will obey
Not fearing to be left in need
Such faith brings release, safety & peace
Even if small as a seed
Chorus 2: You
set me free from self-destruction
And let me see Your greater power
You work in me Your true salvation
I will be safe in this hour
Bridge: Lord,
I know You can bring me to the Promised Land
Where I will see my every need supplied
No longer will I fear, and I’ll know that You are near
As You wash me clean from selfishness and pride
Chorus 1
Chorus 2
