Story behind the song

This song was put in my heart after the tragedy that hit New York on September 11, 2001. Freedom was a topic alot back then and still it but I think this song describes what true freedom really is.

Lyrics

FREEDOM RINGS

I CAN HEAR THE CRIES OF PEOPLE
AS THEIR RUNNING IN THE STREETS            
FULL OF FEAR IN THE FACE OF TRAGEDY        
STRIPPED OF ALL THEIR HOPE                 
AS THE SMOKE BEGINS TO CLEAR               
WONDERING WHAT IS LEFT                     
OF THE PEACE THEY HOLD SO DEAR             
THEN I SEE THEM COME TOGETHER              
TO GRIEVE FROM ALL THEIR PAIN
THAT’S WHEN I HEAR A VOICE                 
FROM THE CROWD SOFLTY SAY                  
                                           
(CHORUS)                                   
FREEDOM RINGS IN MY HEART
AND IT ECHOES IN MY SOUL
WHEN THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD
MARCHES IN AND TAKES CONTROL
HE’S THE ANCHOR WHEN
THE STORMS OF LIFE
RAGE ALL AROUND ME
THE ANSWER TO MY PRAYERS
WHEN I AM WEAK
AND THIS JOY HE’S GIVEN ME
CAN NOT BE STRIPPED AWAY
FOR IT IS IN CHRIST ALONE
THAT WE ARE FREE
AND FREEDOM TRULY RINGS
FREEDOM RINGS (4x’S SECOND TIME THROUGH)

SLOWLY ONE BY ONE
THE PEOPLE WHO WERE GATHERED
HELD HANDS AND BEGAN TO PRAY
AT THE ALTER OF GRACE
LAYING DOWN THEIR BURDENS
ASKING JESUS IN THEIR HEARTS
AND THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD
FELL UPON THEM LIKE A DOVE

IT’S NOT FREEDOM IN THIS COUNTRY
THAT GIVES THE PEACE WE NEED
IT’S THE PEACE OF GOD WITH THE SOULS
OF THOSE WHO CHOOSE TO BELIEVE

Jennifer,
 This is a lovely song and you have a sweet and beautiful voice. As folk music goes... this has to be one of the best I've heard at the "Click". Good Luck my friend!!
