Free Indeed

Son, which way

Back at the crossroads, midnight, same old rusted signLightning splittin' open the sky and a voice on either sideLeft road whispered smooth and low, "Come on, you've earned a break"But that voice never loved nobody, it just loves what it can take

He don't care about your family, he don't care about your painHe just wants you bound up in the dark in the very same chainsHe's miserable down to the bone, and that's all he'll ever beSo he's out huntin' men like you, 'cause misery wants company

But the right road had a voice tooAnd it said, "Son, I know"

He knowsEvery pain you're carryin', every tear you've criedHe knowsHe bled for it in the garden, He carried it when He diedThere's a road that leads to chains and a road that sets you freeI turned right at the crossroads, and He set me free indeed

In Gethsemane He took it all, every sorrow, every sinThe graveyard shifts, the pills, the papers, every place I've ever beenHe was tempted just like me, but He never lost His waySo when He says, "Son, trust Me," I can trust the words He'll say

He knowsEvery pain you're carryin', every tear you've criedHe knowsHe bled for it in the garden, He carried it when He diedThere's a road that leads to chains and a road that sets you freeI turned right at the crossroads, and He set me free indeed

Every man comes to the crossroads, and every man gets to chooseOne road's got a devil who'll lie to you till the endOne road's got a Savior who calls you His friendSo if you're standin' at that sign tonight with lightning in your eyesTurn right, brother, turn right, and walk on into the light

He knowsEvery pain you're carryin', every tear you've criedHe knowsHe bled for it in the garden, He carried it when He diedThere's a road that leads to chains and a road that sets you freeI turned right at the crossroads, now I'm freeFree indeed

Every man comes to the crossroadsSo, which way
