Words by Mark Mohr / Music by Avion Blackman and Mark Mohr.
Inspired by Galatians 5:13, Galatians 3:22-23 and Galatians 4:3-9.
"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." Galatians 5:1
CHORUS 1:
It's for freedom you�ve been set free
It's for freedom, It's for freedom
Don't you go back to your slavery
It's for freedom, it is for freedom
So don't throw it all away for a fleeting moment
No don't give it all away to one who doesn't care
It is for freedom that you have been set free
So don't go back to the way things used to be
CHORUS 2: It's for freedom you've been set free
It's for freedom, It's for freedom
Don't you go back where you used to be
It's for freedom, it is for freedom
When I think of all that the Lord has done
Sacrificing His only Son
So that we can all be free
Give thanks and praise to the Almighty
Well it just makes me feel so sad
To see them drift away from God
And turn back to their evil ways
Come back to the Almighty
(CHORUS 1)
The Lord he has a plan and He wants you to prosper
It's not for freedom to sin but to serve each other in love
It is for freedom that you have been set free
So don't go back to the way things used to be
(CHORUS 2)
You know I have seen a lot of what the world can do
And it breaks my heart in two
To see a brother slip away from their walk with the Almighty
Well it just makes me feel so sad
To see them walk away from God
And go back to their evil ways
Run back to the Almighty
So don't go back to Egypt
Don't go back to Rome
Don't go back to Babylon
That place is not your home
No don't go back to Egypt
Don't go back to Rome
Or go back to how it used to be
That place is not your home
(CHORUS 1)
So don't go back to the way things used to be
Don't go back to the way things used to be.
