Radically Happy

I need to admit
In all honesty
That what I just want
Is to be “soul free”

To live in a place
I do as I please
Think my own thoughts
Choose my duties

Yet Jesus demands
A much higher goal
Because He wants
A spirit that’s whole

And if I define
The world on my terms
I won’t confront
My sinful heart-worms

I need a heart transplant
Ego redefined
So my healed spirit
Can renew my mind

Once l apprehend
How Jesus loves me
Then I’ll demonstrate
True life “spirit free”

Today I will not settle
For false freedom
