Sad Story from Freedom by Russell Cederberg

It’s a sad, sad story, maybe one I cannot tell
It’s so close to my condition, rising out of my own hell
It’s a lifelong story, one of bitterness and blame
It’s how our procrastination was our shame

It’s a story of a father and a son
It’s a story of a work that’s left undone
It’s a story of a mother and a child
It’s a broken family still unreconciled

In a lifetime of struggles, many battles have been lost
We have lashed out in our rage without considering the cost
We have closeted our anger, we have buried all our pain
And the damage that resulted was our bane

It’s a story of a father and a son
It’s a story of a work that’s left undone
It’s a story of a mother and a child
It’s a broken family still unreconciled

Now the Lord is with us, and our story is not through
But the prince of darkness has done all that he will do
‘Cause we’ve seen the enemy, and we call on Jesus name
And He’ll heal us and restore us with his flame

It’s a story of a father and a son
It’s a story of a war that will be won
It’s a story of a mother and a child
We’re a family that will be reconciled
It’s a story of the power of Jesus’ name
It’s a story of the victory we claim
With the Holy Spirit’s power when we pray
Yes the victory will be the Lord’s today
