how we became free – v3

we retell our story

the mystery of faith

each time we gather

around the Lord’s Table,

sharing the meal and

the words that He gave us.

we retell our story

how we became free

Christ’s body broken,

His blood poured out

for you, for me,

for all humanity.

we just have to believe

and submit our will to Him

that Jesus Christ is Lord,

our rock and Redeemer

the Savior who died to save us

to set us free from death.

We retell the story

of the creation of our people

each time we gather

around the Lord’s table

sharing the meal and

the words that He gave us.
