Fred O'Shea

Fred O'Shea (5 October 1886 – 26 December 1962) was an Australian rules footballer who played for Essendon in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

O'Shea, a member of the 1909 Brunswick VFA premiership team, joined Essendon in 1910 and was on the wing when they won the 1911 VFL Grand Final. The following season, O'Shea kicked the winning goal in a final against Carlton which put his club into another Grand Final. He had injured his knee in the first quarter and had to be carried off but returned late in the game and despite being unable to walk, was assigned to the goalsquare and booted the winner with his only kick. Due to his injury, he missed out on the premiership decider and in 1913 he returned to Brunswick.

    [Verse 1:]
    Heaven presents another smash hit for Jesus,
    That keeps you rockin' when we're dropping phat masterpieces
    I pray you seek this great God you should get to know Him,
    And if you do make it known so your set can know Him
    We spit to show Him in all of His splendor
    And to share His matchless love that made me surrender
    See we celebrate the Father who would send His Son
    Because according to the text I was a wretch undone
    Lord, I was lost in sin and lovin' my ways
    Til You came to my rescue like government aid
    Sin had me in a trial just like a subpoena,
    And in Your court I couldn't stand like a leg without the femur
    So now instead of Judge Lord, I know You as Redeemer,
    You're sovereign even if there was a Hurricane Katrina
    You saved men and You placed them in the prints of your feet
    The Prince of Peace with nail prints that proves I'm free
    [Hook:]
    Oh, I'm free, I've never known a love like Yours before, and now
    I'm free, I've never known a life with peace and security
    But Your love restores, and breaks down the doors
    You looked passed me and saw my needs, and set me free, I'm free
    [Verse 2:]
    I was bound to the Law, like a husband to a wife,
    There were standards I couldn't keep, it's like I cheated every night
    Which made sin prevalent, bringin' death to life
    And provided me with the evidence we're in a losing fight
    And like marriage, only death severs ties to the Law,
    Knowing this Jesus stepped in and provided for your boy
    He lived a perfect life fulfilling standards and perfection
    And gave men grace through His death and Resurrection
    Now if we'd only take turn for the better and realize
    That the cravings of the flesh will never let up
    Then we see that cheddar in the possession of our mortal eyes hail
    When compared to the One immortalized
    So now thanks to Christ I'm not an orphan like Annie
    Because God adopted me and made me part of His family
    Me and God are reunited and it feels so good,
    I praise God for the day that Keynon brought me good news
    [Hook:]
    Oh, I'm free, I've never known a love like Yours before, and now
    I'm free, I've never known a life with peace and security
    But Your love restores, and breaks down the doors
    You looked passed me and saw my needs, and set me free, I'm free
    [Verse 3:]
    We see ordinary people getting lifted by John Legend,
    But this is when we get excited writing about John's legend
    John 1: 14 meet the Word in the flesh,
    Christ perfect in His person placing burdens to rest
    But I'm free, no condemnation for me
    Because I'm crucified with Christ, plus His love delivered me
    God loved us enough that He would give His only kid,
    Jesus came to live the perfect life that none of us could live, and I'm free
    [Vamp:]
    There was a time when my heart was on the line
    All of my hope was gone and my soul was out of time
    But Your love restores and breaks down the doors
    You looked passed me and saw my needs, and now I can say, I'm free
    [Hook:]
    Oh, I'm free, I've never known a love like Yours before, and now
    I'm free, I've never known a life with peace and security
    But Your love restores, and breaks down the doors
