All people are like grass, the Bible says, and their glory is like a flower fading. We are all aging, and I believe, with a yearning for something more than what we have, something that will truly satisfy our souls.
For forty years, I yearned for something more than what my hands could bring, “I was trapped in hopelessness, always hoping to believe.” – Lyric, Futility Freedom.
Jesus died to set us free from the futility of this life. A life where we are trying, even striving for something more, but often not knowing what it is that will satisfy the soul. We are looking for a lasting rest, peace, and contentment.
This fullness is a life in Jesus Christ that we are craving. An experience we can’t discover unless God intervenes and reveals Himself to us and gives us understanding. He died to set us free from the futility of this life and to grant us the fullness and eternity of life. It’s life without end where our glory will be everlasting for trusting in the Son of God that came to set us free.
I hope you enjoy this message about this song, Futility Freedom.

Lyrics – Futility Freedom
Life’s all inside of You Jesus
All creation was made through You
I didn’t know I needed Your Spirit in me!
My whole journey, walking this dry earth was looking for love, looking for happiness
Thinking it had to come out of me!
I was trapped in hopelessness, always hoping to believe.
Jesus, You died to set me free from this futility
Jesus, You died to set me free from the futility
Jesus, You loved me to die to set me free
Jesus, You died to set me from this futility
So if I don’t sing these words with this tune into this microphone today
Even with the lawnmower going in the background
I might never get back to it!
‘Cause life’s chaotic, and there’s a war going on
A war for souls – to lose many
And for this song – to win!
And I will take whomever I can get
Any soul I’m willing to lay down my life
I’m not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the power to save
Did you hear that? To save!
And Satan’s roaring round like a roaring lion
But his roar just isn’t as loud as the cry of the message of hope
Jesus, You died to set me free from this futility
Jesus, You died to set me free from the futility
Jesus, You loved me to die to set me free
Jesus, You died to set me from this futility
Life is in Jesus
He rose from the dead
It’s as simple as that, folks!
To set me free, to set me free.
Jesus, You died to set me free from this futility
Jesus, You died to set me free from the futility
Jesus, You loved me to die to set me free
Jesus, You died to set me from this futility
