Free to Love – v3

No longer slave, no longer captive,
freedom from Adam’s legacy
free from the judgment
of sin and death.
No longer under the law;
by grace alone redeemed
by 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 nurture, 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.
