Citipointe Worship - Free Indeed (Wonder) Lyrics
Lyrics
Oh Lord I've gotta sing my song
And I'm never ever gonna stop
For I'm no longer captive
To rumors on the breeze
You lifted that weight from me
Oh Lord I've gotta sing my song
From the riverbank to mountain tops
See all my shame is dealt with
See all my guilt is gone
I was dead but now I'm walking on
You bring life
Freedom when the world is broken
Freedom when the shadows close in
No matter what comes I will stand in Your victory
You bring joy
The wonder and the awe in the morning
The goodness and the grace You afford me
I will delight in Your love that has set me free
For the Spirit of the Lord is here
There is freedom in the atmosphere
For I'm no longer captive
To all my history
My Father taught me I am His
You bring life
Freedom when the world is broken
Freedom when the shadows close in
No matter what comes I will stand in Your victory
You bring joy
The wonder and the awe in the morning
The goodness and the grace You afford me
I will delight in Your love that has set me free
If the Son sets you free
You will be free indeed
Nothing is better, better, better
Better, better, better
If the Son sets you free
You will be free indeed
Nothing is better, better, better
Better, better, better
If the Son sets you free
You will be free indeed
Nothing is better, better, better
Better, better, better
If the Son sets you free
You will be free indeed
Nothing is better, better, better
Better, better, better
You bring life
Freedom when the world is broken
Freedom when the shadows close in
Shadows close in
You bring joy
The wonder and the awe in the morning
The goodness and the grace You afford me
I will delight in Your love that has set me free
You bring life
Freedom when the world is broken
Freedom when the shadows close in
No matter what comes I will stand in Your victory
You bring joy
The wonder and the awe in the morning
The goodness and the grace You afford me
I will delight in Your love that has set me free

Citipointe Worship - Free Indeed (Wonder) (with lyrics)(2022)
Meaning & Inspiration
Citipointe Worship’s "Free Indeed (Wonder)," released on July 30, 2022, immediately immerses one in a declaration of profound spiritual liberation. From the outset, the song establishes a narrative of deliverance, a testament to an unshakeable freedom found beyond the transient anxieties and criticisms of the world. It’s more than just a melody; it is an anthem of victory, inviting all to partake in a joyful realization of divine intervention and a newfound identity.
The song paints a vivid picture of a soul set free, moving from a place of spiritual bondage to unbridled praise. The initial verses speak to being "no longer captive to rumors on the breeze," signifying a release from the weight of external judgment, societal pressures, or even self-condemnation. This resonates deeply with the assurance found in Scripture, where God promises to be our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). The progression continues with a powerful confession: "all my shame is dealt with, all my guilt is gone," echoing the transformative power of grace where sin is remembered no more (Hebrews 8:12, Isaiah 43:25). The transition from being "dead" to "walking on" is a clear echo of the new life offered through Christ, a spiritual resurrection that brings us from darkness to light and from condemnation to peace (Ephesians 2:4-5, Colossians 2:13). This journey underscores a core Christian truth: that true freedom begins with the forgiveness of sins and a renewed spirit.
Central to the song’s message is the profound role of God in bringing life, freedom, and joy. The recurring chorus describes a freedom that persists even "when the world is broken" and "when the shadows close in," a steadfastness rooted in divine victory. This unwavering stance aligns with Paul’s declaration that in all things, we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us (Romans 8:37). This is not merely an absence of chains, but an active, vibrant participation in God’s ongoing triumph over darkness and despair. Furthermore, the song celebrates the "wonder and the awe in the morning," and the "goodness and the grace" afforded to us, reminding us that God’s mercies are new every morning (Lamentations 3:22-23) and His presence brings fullness of joy (Psalm 16:11). The delight expressed in His love that has set the worshiper free is a profound spiritual response to the immeasurable love described throughout the Bible (John 3:16, 1 John 4:19).
The lyrical journey further emphasizes that this freedom stems from the very presence of the Spirit of the Lord, where "there is freedom in the atmosphere" (2 Corinthians 3:17). This implies a dynamic, present reality, not just a historical event. The song confronts past struggles, declaring release from being "captive to all my history," highlighting how God’s redemptive power transcends our past mistakes and failures. It culminates in the foundational truth, "My Father taught me I am His," anchoring identity not in personal achievement or societal perception, but in divine adoption (Romans 8:15, Galatians 4:7). The repeated, emphatic declaration, "If the Son sets you free, You will be free indeed," directly quotes John 8:36, solidifying the song’s theological core. This biblical verse is not merely a statement but a promise—a definitive assurance that the liberation offered by Jesus is absolute, complete, and unchallengeable. This profound freedom surpasses all earthly comparisons, leaving the declaration "Nothing is better, better, better" as an undeniable truth for those who have experienced it. The song serves as a powerful encouragement, drawing hearts towards the source of ultimate liberation and inspiring a life lived in the unwavering joy of that divine freedom.
