Freedom and life are ours

Freedom and life are ours
for Christ has set us free!
Never again submit to powers
that lead to slavery:
Christ is the Lord who breaks
our chains, our bondage ends;
Christ is the rescuer who makes
the helpless slaves his friends.

2. Called by the Lord to use
our freedom and be strong,
not letting liberty excuse
a life of blatant wrong:
freed from the law’s stern hand
God’s gift of grace to prove,
know that the law’s entire demand
is gladly met by love.

3. Spirit of God, come, fill,
emancipate us all!
speak to us, Word of truth, until
before his throne we fall:
glory and liberty
our Father has decreed,
and if the Son shall make us free
we shall be free indeed!
