See post earlier today re: Mary Magdalene. The final phrases, "free to love, free to serve, free to follow"... lead to this song.
================================================
================================================
I look out now, through eyes that see,
No fear, no pain, to torture me.
No more unwanted, nor alone.
Come now and make my heart your throne.
I've lived a life of agony,
Fog-shrouded pain engulfing me.
You healed my heart --
You met my need --
And through your love
My soul's been freed.
Chorus:
I'm free to serve you
All my days.
I'm freely bound
To sing your praise.
I'm free to chain
My life to yours –
A slave of Love,
Forevermore
By David and Joanne Norton, 1985.
NOTE: If you would like to hear the song, click the "Slave of Love" link. [The vocalist is a friend; pianist is Dave; "flute" is me from my synthesized horn.]
