This song does not exalt Christ as it should. It refers to "you" but does not specify that "you" is Jesus Christ. All of the good things mentioned in the song, such as the blind seeing, the mute singing, and the dead rising, are attributed to Christ in the Bible, not an unspecified "you." The chorus focuses on "I am" rather than exalting Christ. While freedom is mentioned, true freedom only comes through continuing in the word of Christ. Overall, the song fails to glorify God or Jesus Christ as it should as a Christian song.

2Thessalonians 1:12 That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ
may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of

1Corinthians 1:2 Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to
them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with

Chorus:
We are free to run
We free to dance
We free to live for you
We are free, we are free, we are free
Q: How can a person be truly free?
John 8:31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on
him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
(32) And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you
free.
A: If we continue in the word of Christ, then we are disciples
indeed; And we shall know the truth, and the truth shall make us
FREE! The TRUTH sets us FREE. JESUS CHRIST is the way,
the TRUTH, and the life (John 14:6). The Word of God is
TRUTH (John 17:17).
