Flying Free


Una Paloma Blanca

When the sun shines on the mountain
And the night is on the run
It's a new day
It's a new way
And I fly up to the sun

I can feel the morning sunlight
I can smell the new-mown hay
I can hear God's voice is calling
For my golden sky light way

Una paloma blanca
I'm just a bird in the sky
Una paloma blanca
Over the mountains I fly
No one can take my freedom away

Once I had my share of losing
for they locked me on a chain
Yes they tried to break my power
oh I still can feel the pain

Una paloma blanca
I'm just a bird in the sky
Una paloma blanca
Over the mountains I fly
No one can take my freedom away

I loved this oldie as a child!  And I love the grace message in it..We are free in Him today, and nothing can take that freedom away!  We are free from sin, condemnation, guilt, punishment, rejection, pressure to measure up or perform, law, requirements and rules we couldn't ever keep, the old self, the old way of life - we are free!  Free to dance, sing, and fly in His grace!  Free to enjoy His loving presence, free to fail and know we're still accepted, free to love ourselves and just let ourselves be, free to love others and just let them be!  Grace is so wonderful!  Nothing can take His love, favor, and acceptance away!  Nothing can take HIM away from our hearts!  We soar free in Jesus today!  We're like white, clean, pure doves flying in the sky on Spirit wings, and noone can take that freedom away!  "Christ has set us free to live a free life. So take your stand! Never again let anyone put a harness of slavery on you" (Gal. 5:1).  I'm just a bird in the sky...

                       With love,
May the amazing grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the extravagant love of God, and the intimate friendship of the Holy Spirit be with all of you. 2 Co. 13:14
