No longer slave, no longer
captive
free from the judgment
the eternal chains
of sin and death.
No longer under the law;
by grace alone redeemed
a sacrifice of love, our
debts forever paid.
Free to love, so we should
be
our lives for one another,
not for worldly gain alone.
Free to care, for our
brother, for our sister,
making their way easier,
their loads lighter;
we are following His
example,
our Servant-King, our
Savior, our Lord.
