Lyrics
You are the deepest love my heart has felt
As your spirit falls my burdens melt
Yes my sin was great, but greater still
You loved me, Lord
You always will
You loved me, Lord
You always will
You speak the greatest truth my ears have heard
Conquered Satan's lies with living word
And after all the years that I have run
You called me Yours
Your truth has won
You called me Yours
Your truth has won
You are the Father who takes me back again
Crowning me with mercy like I'd never left
I'm not forgotten, I am not alone
This is belonging
You are my home
You are the strongest arm that reaches out
For those left for dead in fear and doubt
Though these broken bones were all I had
You pulled me from
The pit of death
You pulled me from
The pit of death
You are the Father who takes me back again
Crowning me with mercy like I'd never left
I'm not forgotten, I am not alone
This is belonging
You are my home
I found freedom, I found freedom
I found freedom for the first time
I found freedom, I found freedom
I found freedom for the first time
You are the Father who takes me back again
Crowning me with mercy like I 'd never left
I'm not forgotten, I am not alone
This is belonging
You are my home
You are my home
I found freedom
I found freedom
I found freedom for the first time
Thank you, Lord

Meaning & Inspiration
“I Found Freedom” describes rescue as a movement from sin, isolation, and death into mercy, truth, and belonging. Each verse names a different aspect of God’s saving work: burdens melt in His presence, lies are defeated by His word, and a strong arm reaches into fear and doubt. The repeated confession of freedom is therefore tied to a restored relationship with God rather than mere relief from hardship.
The image of a Father welcoming someone back strongly recalls Jesus’ parable of the lost son in Luke 15. Mercy replaces rejection, and the returning child is received as belonging in the Father’s home. The language of being pulled from the pit also echoes Psalm 40:2, where God lifts the psalmist from destruction and establishes firm footing. Colossians 1:13-14 further supports the song’s connection between rescue, forgiveness, and freedom through Christ. Across these images, the lyric presents grace as greater than sin and God’s truth as stronger than accusation, giving its celebration of freedom a clear biblical foundation.
