I Have a Free Will

I Have a Free Will

1

I have a free will,
Oh, yes, a free will!
This is the way that I was made, it’s God’s design.
I can decide what I will do
And choose the words that I speak too.
Oh yes, in everything I do I have a choice.

2

Now there are choices
Now there are choices
And ev’ry day—so many choices I must make.
Shall I stay or shall I go?
Shall I say “yes,” or is it “no?”
The choice is mine in what I do and what I say.

3

I have a free will
To make my choices.
What will I do with this responsibility?
If I can choose just to obey
Whatever older ones might say.
That’s what I’ll do with this responsibility!
