Christ Paid for Our Freedom

Our Savior paid, the price,
the Messiah, the Christ
already, long ago, before time
the cost of our freedom
on the altar of the cross

Only to believe, to accept him
to fall into the waters
to die to our past, our sin
to walk in his freedom
new life to begin

Rising with Christ,
from the waters, from death
we are to humbly walk this land
offering hope to the earth
God’s love for us all

Calling to us
to each beating heart
to listen to Spirit’s calling
that we are free indeed
only to believe, to accept
the Savior’s call to us
