When Time Was Ripe – v3

When time was ripe
in the fullness of time
the world as God wanted
Christ came to earth
walking as a man

Come to free us from sin
the chains of the law
of ourselves, our desires,
grace alone redeeming us
nothing we could pay

Now to spread the good news
of the Father, of the Son
the Spirit yet with us
the love God for each of us
sufficient to save the world
