John 8:36 New English Translation (NET Bible)

 

36 So if the Son sets you free, you will be really free.

 

 

 

Vacation

 

Freedom in the Rockies only confined by space

Moving down the highway seeing what the Lord has made

Dancing in the sunshine here and there some snow

Even in high places where some bushes grow

 

Life is awful pretty surviving in a desert place

Who can really quench it not even the human race?

Mile after mile a world of sand and stone

It's here where the West was won by just one alone

 

Once here roamed the buffalo without any fences

Now it is all plotted out and possessed by denseness

Man of the world has land’s titles to their name

They worked and deserved it possibly without shame

 

There is nothing like America the land of the free

I rather am here now than where I wish to be

Roaming on the highways on surfaces of tar

No one here to stop me as I travel on afar

 

Always kind of protected by a throng just like me

Even now in a hurry for a place I need to be

A place to get rest as we are plotting on

I could have stayed at home where I can get along

 

Places not known to me at every bend are hurled

The sights I am seeing seem out of this world

So all these things are worth it as an unknown song

I’ll keep on this path as I’ll keep traveling on

 

All the folk I meet here I already met at home

Some strange and common, some picked to the bone

I always seem to meet a neighbor where ever I go

Maybe that’s the lesson now I truly start to know

 

Not looking for tomorrow for today is full

Filled with the busyness of all as everyone’s the fool

Today we’ll hit the road again at times just guessing

but above all to realize that freedom is a blessing
