Fugitive, fugitive that's what I was.
Freedman, freedman, that's what I am.
Followin' Jesus, & that's just because
Through love's precious life I can.

God found me runnin' from His Law.
You found me lost in wretched sin.
You rescued me as I heard your call.
You found Your son and now your my Friend.

Fallin', forsakin', that was my start.
Bondage & barren, that was my fruit.
Battered & broken, here is my heart.
Father, forgive me, fulfill your Truth.

Lookin' to Jesus, I found New Life!
Captured by Jesus, He set me Free!
His Word cut my cords, pierced like a knife.
"God open our heart: help us to see."

Fugitive, fugitive, that's when you run.
Freedom, freedom, that's what you need.
Followin' Jesus, the Lord who has won.
Use all your faith to reap & plant seed.

We plough through the mud: sorrow & pain.
We wait through the heat: summer's long days.
We gather the harvest: gold autumn grain.
We'll stay by the fire when winter will glaze.

Fugitives, fugitives, that's what we were.
Freedmen, freedmen, that's what we are.
Followin' Jesus, our hope is secure.
He pardoned & healed our old hearts.

Fugitive, fugitive that's what I was.
Freedman, freedman, that's what I am.
Followin' Jesus, & that's just because
Through love's precious life I can.
