BeBe Winans - Love And Freedom Lyrics
Lyrics
Freedom, Freedom, (Love)& Freedom, Freedom
OOOhhmmm, Freedom, talk about love, Freedom, we talk about freeedom Everybody needs a secret place, where defenses are down, fear cannot be found,
Doesn't matter what the case may be, you will always be around, yes permanently.
We are talking love, we are talking about you and me, how you unlocked my heart and set me free, now I am living and feeling once again.
We are talking love, when you touched me I felt completely yours, I will always cherish and adore, good to know when you're found forevermore.
I found...
freedom, freedom(echo), Its, looove, freedom, we talk about freedom
You know freedom stands for liberty, to say(echo) how you feel (echo), what you believe (echo).
And even where there are times I am clearly wrong, still, you whisper my name and you hold me in your arms
We are talking love, we are talking about you and me, how you unlocked my heart and set me free, now I am living and feeling once again.
We are talking love, when you touched me, I felt completely yours, I will always cherish and adore, good to know when you're found forevermore.
I found...
freedom, freedom(echo), Its, looove, freedom, we talk about freedom
(CHOIR) Can YOU!
Now can you imagine?
Amidst of the ocean (CHOIR - OH YEAH)
And you trapped by a raging sea (Choir -) Its' just a description of a truth that has happened, then love came and rescued me (CHOIR - Yes we're Talking)love,
Solo: oh my oh my
We are talking love, we are talking about you and me, how you unlocked my heart and set me free, now I am living and feeling once again.
We are talking love, when you touched me, I felt completely yours, I will always cherish and adore, good to know when you're found forevermore.
Yes, are talking love, we are talking about you and me, how you unlocked my heart and set me free, now I am living and feeling once again.
We are talking love, when you touched me, I felt completely yours, I will always cherish and adore, good to know when you're found forevermore.
Talking love, we talk about you and me, you unlock my heart and set me free
I found...

Love is kind, love is patient, love is everything I need, so please don't take it away, we can talk about it cause we have love, tell me what's on your mind, I will tell you what's on my heart!

Love & Freedom - Bebe Winans
Meaning & Inspiration
Released on January 1, 2000, BeBe Winans' "Love And Freedom" from the album of the same name, emerges not merely as a song, but as a profound spiritual declaration, articulating the unbreakable link between divine love and true liberty. The essence of this composition lies in its powerful testimony to a transformative relationship, one where love doesn't just offer comfort, but actively liberates the soul. Winans eloquently describes this foundational truth, where the presence of a profound, unwavering love creates a "secret place, where defenses are down, fear cannot be found." This sanctuary is more than just an emotional state; it mirrors the intimate dwelling described in Psalm 91:1, where those who abide in the shelter of the Most High find unfailing refuge and protection from fear, truly a spiritual haven.
The narrative of the song unfolds as a deeply personal journey of spiritual awakening, illustrating how this love acts as the key to liberation. The lines about this love having "unlocked my heart and set me free, now I am living and feeling once again," beautifully portray the experience of spiritual renewal. This resonates with the promise of John 8:36, "So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed," and echoes the radical transformation spoken of in 2 Corinthians 5:17, where the old passes away and new life begins in Christ. It's a vivid description of moving from a state of emotional or spiritual dormancy to vibrant existence, a testament to the life-giving power of divine affection. This awakening extends to a sense of belonging, as Winans proclaims, "when you touched me I felt completely yours, I will always cherish and adore, good to know when you're found forevermore." This sentiment reflects the covenantal love of God, affirming that through His touch, we become His own, a truth deeply embedded in Scripture, such as in 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, where believers are reminded they are not their own, but bought with a price and belong to Him eternally.
The song further unpacks the multifaceted nature of freedom, asserting that it "stands for liberty, to say how you feel, what you believe." This is not a superficial freedom, but a spiritual liberation that grants authenticity and boldness in one's faith and expression. Galatians 5:1 powerfully articulates this, stating, "It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery." Even in moments of undeniable human fallibility, the song speaks to an unwavering divine grace: "Even where there are times I am clearly wrong, still, you whisper my name and you hold me in your arms." This portrays God's unfailing compassion and forgiveness, a truth profoundly illustrated in Romans 5:8, "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." His personal, tender embrace, as described in the song, reaffirms His constant presence and loving acceptance, a comfort mirrored in Isaiah 43:1, where God calls His beloved by name, declaring, "You are mine."
The impactful imagery of being "trapped by a raging sea" until "love came and rescued me" paints a striking picture of humanity's desperate state without divine intervention. This powerful metaphor speaks to the overwhelming struggles and despair that can engulf us, a scenario often depicted in biblical narratives, such as Psalm 107:28-30, where those lost at sea cry out to the Lord and He stills the storm, bringing them to their desired haven. It highlights love as the ultimate rescuer, an act of salvation from spiritual peril. The song culminates in a beautiful declaration of love's essential qualities, drawing directly from the wellspring of scriptural truth: "Love is kind, love is patient, love is everything I need." This direct echo of 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 grounds the song in the very character of God. This profound love is the answer to all needs, fostering an environment of trust and open communication, where hearts can truly connect and share what's on their minds without fear. "Love And Freedom" is a spiritual anthem that not only celebrates the liberating power of divine love but also serves as a potent reminder for all who seek true freedom that it is found in the eternal embrace of God's unchanging affection.
