| FREEDOM ROAD - Len Magee |
 |
THIS UPLOAD IS A TRIBUTE TO LEN MAGEE. In
the eighties, as a young Christian, Len's
music had helped me grow in my spiritual
life. His songs are like good sermons, his
lyrics are testimonies of God's peace,
love，joy and power, enriching to the
listener, empowering and encouraging. The
following is adapted from his official
website, written by his very own sister:
Len Magee, Christian singer and song
writer，lives on the Gold Coast of
Australia, where he and his wife, Heather,
pastor a small fellowship. Although Len
produced most of his music between 1973 and
1981, many people have still not forgotten
the impact his ministry had on their
spiritual lives. His music became well known
in Christian circles around the English
speaking world. God took a suicidal, hippy
drug addict and turned him into a man who
lives to preach the Gospel. The seven year
old child sent from his home and family to
the other side of the world where he was
raised in an institution, became, through the
grace of God, a minister, teacher and pastor,
as well as a loving husband and father. The
deep pain and great joys of Len's life
resonate through the words of his songs,
which are still quoted today; but more
importantly, his honesty allows God's Spirit
to communicate deep truths to the listener.
His is the kind of music that is easy to
listen to and impossible to forget. Whilst
it will warm the hearts of those of us old
enough to remember it from the first time
around, the discerning younger listeners will
also find it engaging. (Adapted - Lesley R

Freedom Road
1 Freedom Road was calling me and all my
friends
The sun and the breeze upon your face
But I find that Freedom Road ain't got no end
Just lots of souls not going any place
So I'm leaving on the nine forty-five
I hope that train is gonna be on time
Then I guess I'll have to try and hitch a
ride
My dreams have gone, the weather's not so
fine
Chorus
Freedom Road, oh heavy load
And there's such an awful price to pay
So I'm telling you my friend
This road has got no end
It's lead me and so many folk astray
So I'm turning back to find some other way
2 It's been said that all that glitters is
not gold
And my friends spoke of gaining inner wealth
But when I was tired and hungry, freezing
cold
I found that I was running from myself
So I'm leaving on the nine forty-five
I just can't wait to get up on that train
I think of home, my bed so warm and dry
I'm getting tired of standing in the rain
Chorus
3 A man gave me a Bible yesterday
I sat right down and read it on the road
I got peace in finding Jesus is the Way
And somewhere back I left my heavy load
So I'm leaving on the nine forty-five
And I ain't coming back no more
I've discovered that Jesus is alive
And He's the one my soul's been looking for
Chorus
Freedom Road, oh heavy load
And there's such an awful price to pay
So I'm telling you my friend
This road has got no end
It's lead me and so many fold astray
But I'm glad I found that Jesus is the Way
