For freedom Christ has set us free
what joy is ours to claim
No more enslaved humanity
finds life in Jesus' name
We try Lord to be justified
through all the works we do
Yet you adopt us saying Child
it's Christ who make you new
We're clothed in Christ and we belong
now no one waits outside
In him we find our common song
old ways no more divide
It is no longer I who live
but Christ who lives in me
He died for us new life to give
and new identity.
Now, Spirit-filled may we be led
from ways that would destroy
May we your people turn instead
to lives of love and joy
May we find peace that makes us whole
and patience everywhere
God give us kindness self-control
and hearts and hands that share
