Free Indeed – v2

Healed, on the Sabbath,
in the loving word
the living Christ
raising me from the dead
from myself, who I was, who I am;
redeeming me completely
washing me clean
with the blood of Christ
the Lamb of God
raising me to shout.

I am free, by the love of God,
by the sacrifice of the Son
Free indeed, to testify
to share my salt, my light
my brokenness healed
my pain washed away
the living water of God
quenching my thirst;
filling me to overflowing,
that I may share Christ’s light.
