Today’s hymn focus will be
He Set Me Free
John 8:36(ESV)
“So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.“
Born in 1905 in Spiro, OK to a family of sharecroppers, Albert E. Brumley spent most of his early years chopping and picking cotton. At the age of 19, he enrolled into the Hartford Musical Institute in Hartford, AR. In 1931, his wife convinced him to publish some of his songs with the publishing company at his former alma mater. His collection included “I’ll Fly Away”, “I Will Meet You in the Morning” and “He Set Me Free”. He went on to write over 800 songs that have been sung by gospel groups and country western music artists. He was inducted into the Country Song Writers Hall of Fame in 1970.
He set me free, yes, He set me free. He broke the bonds of prison for me;
I’m glory bound my Jesus to see, for, glory to God, He set me free!
I challenge you to find the words to this hymn and read them today. As you do, examine whether or not you have experienced the freedom that can only be found in Christ. Then sing your praises to the glory of God, for He has set you free!

He Set Me Free
Once like a bird in prison I dwelt
No freedom from my sorrow I felt
But Jesus came and listened to me
And glory to God He set me free
He set me free yes
He set me free
And He broke the bonds of prison for me
I’m glory bound my
Jesus to see
For glory to God He set me free
Now I am climbing higher each day
Darkness of mine has drifted away
My feet are planted on higher ground
And glory to God I’m homeward bound
Goodbye to sin and things that confound
Not all the world can turn me around
Daily I’m working I’m praying too
And glory to God I’m going through
