Set free
Tonight, we read Acts 12, about the angel releasing Peter from prison, in family worship. We always let the children pick songs. We sang "O Church Arise" and "Jesus, Thank You." And then Alicia and I sang "And Can It Be That I Should Gain?"

I love these lyrics:

Long my imprisoned spirit lay,
Fast bound in sin and nature’s night;
Thine eye diffused a quickening ray—
I woke, the dungeon flamed with light;
My chains fell off, my heart was free,
I rose, went forth, and followed Thee.
My chains fell off, my heart was free,
I rose, went forth, and followed Thee.

There's a Sermon Jam of Ravi Zacharias Testimony quoting this exact same stanza.

I love it.
