I’m walking to the beat of a different drum
I can see past these days
In to a better place - oh yeah
I’m singing to the tune of a different strum
My ways are higher ways
Since You’ve removed my chains
And given me a place
At the table of Your love, now

It’s good to be free
It’s good to be free from all the pain
It’s good to be free
It’s good to hear You say my new name
It’s good to be free
It’s good to know you’ve stood in the place of blame for me
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
It’s good to be free

Things of this world are overdone
Things like theology and philosophy - oh yeah
Through Jesus I know I’ve overcome
My insecurities and insincerity
Now that You’ve placed in me
A hope for things I cannot see, now

I spent so long
Living in a cell that I thought was home
I didn’t know it wasn’t meant for me
I let the Lord
Search my soul with a fine-tooth comb
He showed me everything that I could be
Now I see

Behind the Song:
"'Good to Be Free' is about the release we find in Jesus. It’s not about escaping life but more about taking on the Lord’s yoke, which is easy and never more than we can handle. It’s about realizing that God is in control. Even though we are pressured on a daily basis by all sorts of things, we can find freedom in Jesus." - Jeromy Deibler (FFH)
