Story behind the song
Everything that can be done for our salvation was accomplished on the cross of Jesus Christ. That's how much God loved us. We can either choose life through Jesus Christ, or death by rejecting His sacrifice. The choice is up to each one of us to make.
Lyrics
Many times I had struggled; many time I'd been afraid
But then I lifted up my eyes to God in faith
The question of "Why me Lord?" faded away with my belief
The hope by which I'm anchored brought me calm and sweet relief
CHORUS
For it was finished at the cross when Jesus died to set me free
I laid down the life I'm burdened with, and I found joy and lasting peace
I find His yoke is easy if I stay within His care
I surrender all to Jesus He's the One who's always there
'Ol Satan tries to hinder and puts obstacles ahead
But there is nothing he can do to make me fall
I choose to follow the One who gives me joy and victory
I know He'll never leave me for His grace has set me free
