I Will Be Free

Lyrics

The mountains are steep And the valleys low And already I'm weary But I have so far to go Oh, and sorrow holds my hand And suffering sings me songs But when I close my eyes I know to Whom I belong And Who makes me strong I will be free I will be free to run the mountains I will be free Free to drink from the living fountain Oh, I'll never turn back 'Cause He awaits for me Oh, I will be free A wise man, a rich man In paupers' clothes A shepherd to lead us Through the land of woes Though many battles I have lost So many rivers yet to cross But when my eyes behold the Son Who'd bore my loss And Who'd paid the cost Oh, I will be free I will be free to run the mountains I will be free Oh, free to drink from the living fountain Oh, I'll never turn back 'Cause He awaits for me, oh... Oh, I will be free, oh... Oh, and I'll dance on silver moonlight And I'll walk through velvet fields Oh, and I'll run into the arms The arms that set me free Oh, I will be free to run the mountains I will be free Free to drink from the living fountain Oh, I'll never turn back 'Cause He awaits Oh, I'll never turn back Don't you ever turn back 'Cause someday Someday we're gonna see That we will be free
