The struggle to stay free

There's a choice that stands before me
that i did not have before
When a carpenter was writing
for his people a new law
But it did not change the old one
it made me free to choose
so that somehow i could be close to you
Obstacles arise to block me
shiny things to tempt my sight
Other voices try to pull me
from the road that's good and right
There's a battle deep inside me
and it causes suffering
but somehow i must remain free
I'm always gonna be a slave to someone
At first it made me mad to have no choice
yet freedom is a slave to someone
when you know you are a friend to God
So each time i face temptation
let me not ever forget
of the struggles that I'm fighting
and the war that I am in
That i have been freed from bondage
I have the gift to understand
in the struggle to remain free

Well done! This is a great write indeed. I do like your view of freedom, to choose one's slavery. Interesting.
Take care, my friend.
