In Your Own Words:
Learning to Live
by Jennifer Harman, Age 19
Send this page to a friend
By normal standards I was free
I had nothing to stand in my way
I had my friends, freedom, and whatever I've pleased.
On the road that lead to decay
I thought I was happy
I had not a care in the world, and only promise ahead
I had everything I thought I would ever need,
But I had no idea I was dead
When I lost my freedom, at first I was devastated
It seemed as if all had been lost
But when You came in, Jesus, you set me free. . .
I found my true freedom at the cross
All the while I was "living" I was dead in my sin.
With all the worldly "promise," I was losing my soul
But it took losing everything for me to see
Only You could make me whole
Sometimes it takes dying to learn how to live
And what You have shown me is true
Although I was "living" yesterday,
I was really dead without You
