Freedom Song

ELEANOR YOUNG CLAPP

God showed Moses how to be free. He led his
people out of the land of Egypt—out of slavery.
He gave us the Ten Commandments. The
First Commandment tells us to have only one
God.

Why are these Commandments the key to
freedom?
Because each commandment, if we obey it,
gives us power over evil.
It sets us free to be what we really are—God's
perfect child, His reflection.

Christ Jesus said, "Ye shall know the truth, and
the truth shall make you free" (John 8:32).
The truth is that God is Love.
Where we have only Love as our God, we are
free.
