The sacrifice of Christ

The sacrifice of Christ
the truth to set us free
all of us in chains
the shackles of our sin
Set free by Christ
by his coming to earth
giving himself
dying in our place

Not happy words
but joy in our hearts
loving us this much
to give himself for us
going to the cross
raising us from the dust
walking with our Savior
leading us to go, to do
offering others our witness
his work in me and you
