Forever Free

Redemption isn’t about what I’ve done — it’s about what’s been done for me.
Even when I have wandered, grace breaks the chains of guilt and shame, and God’s love rescues me and leads me back home. 

Forever Free
by Todd Gordon

I wandered far on roads unknown,
Chasing dreams not quite my own.
But grace pursued with steady light,
A quiet voice that pierced the night.

I stumbled through the weight of shame,
Yet mercy met me just the same.
No anger burned, no judgment thrown—
Just arms of love to bring me home.

He wiped the dust from off my face,
Clothed me in undeserved embrace.
Where death once ruled, now hope takes breath,
A soul revived, redeemed from death.

Now in His peace I choose to stay,
The guilt is gone, He’s shown the way.
I once was lost, but now I see—
Forever held, forever free.
