We are no longer slaves

We are free

It is night and it is raining.  I carefully manoeuvre my car round the many bends towards my – frequent – destination: Cusco Airport. My mind wanders.  Dawn breaks at 5 a.m. Smooth ballads come from the car speakers.  I had quickly grabbed this one CD.

And suddenly I hear a smoky voice and a melody that fulfills me immediately.  I push the repeat button and press it again.  There is nothing better than the lyrics of this song.

The desire of my life and the answer to my many questions.

It is 1:22 p.m. and I am standing in front of the Ministry for Communications in Lima.  My mobile rings.  My wife Martina is calling from Germany: “Mummy just died!”

Immediately I think back to the song.  That is my hope that I am secure in his arms. /KDJ

I’m no longer a slave to fear /
I am a child of God /

From my mother’s womb /
You have chosen me /
Love has called my name /
I’ve been born again /
Into your family /
Your blood flows through my veins /

[4x]
I’m no longer a slave to fear /
I am a child of God /

I am surrounded /
By the arms of the father /
I am surrounded /
By songs of deliverance /

We’ve been liberated /
From our bondage /
We’re the sons and the daughters /
Let us sing our freedom /

You split the sea /
So I could walk right through it /
My fears were drowned in perfect love /
You rescued me /
And I could stand and sing /
I am a child of God… /

In the face of death we can know that we can be God’s children.  Now and forever.
