This is a hymn that I heard for the first time just a couple years ago, but now it is among my favorites;
Freely, Freely
Words and Music by Carol Owens
God forgave my sin in Jesus’ name,
I’ve been born again in Jesus’ name,
And in Jesus’ name I come to you,
To share his love as he told me to.
He said, “Freely, freely you have received,
Freely, freely give.
Go in my name, and because you believe,
Others will know that I live.”
All power is given in Jesus’ name,
In earth and heaven in Jesus’ name
And in Jesus’ name I come to you
To share his power as he told me to.
He said, “Freely, freely you have received,
Freely, freely give.
Go in my name, and because you believe,
Others will know that I live.”

We just sang this in worship this morning. I think it is a great stewardship song!

The words, so simple, the message so true.
It brings tears to my eyes every time I sing it. It is the basis for how I live my life.

I know what you mean, Gail. I played it through a few times on the piano today. It is a beautiful song.
