Holy, Holy, Holy, Part I

Breaking the Ice: Please read Exodus 21:1-5, Romans 6:15-22 & the lyrics to Steve Croft’s song Pierce My Ear  based on these passages.  What does it mean to you personally that as a Christian you are a God’s slave?

Pierce my ear, O Lord, my God.
Take me to Your door this day.
I will serve no other god.
Lord, I'm here to stay.

For You have paid the price for me.
With Your blood You ransomed me.
I will serve You eternally.
A free man I'll never be.
