To live in this world means that everything we do will eventually prove meaningless when death takes us and we stand before Jesus Christ. He is the only one who has opened the door to purpose, meaning, and eternal Life with Him as our Lord.

I took this photo on the plane as it was coming in to land in San Diego. It’s where we Aussies, my husband Leo, and I now live. We had been away on missions, and as the plane landed, my heart pounded for the people here trapped in darkness who do not know Christ. The song is a cry for us to do our part in telling them that there is a Savior who loves them and died for them. Who came to release them from their futile life by knowing Him – to call them out of darkness and into His marvelous light! (1 Peter 2:9)

Futility Freedom Full Lyrics –

Life’s all, inside 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! 
Trapped!
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 this futility
Jesus, you loved me to die to set me free
Jesus, you died to set me free 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 Satan’s roaring around 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 this futility Jesus, you loved me to die to set me free Jesus, you died to set me free from this futility He rose from the dead, to set me free He rose from the dead, to set me free
Jesus, you died to set me free from this futility Jesus, you died to set me free from this futility Jesus, you loved me to die to set me free Jesus, you died to set me free from this futility
