There was a pit deep down inside of me A need revealed by laws I could not keep And it's demands had put a curse over my head And blinded me with shame I could not see
Then God chose love and sent his only son To hang my curse upon a tree I've been crucified with christ It's no longer I who live But christ who lives in me
The foolish are working in the flesh But only spirit will perfect By faith he's been received
Now sons, now daughters, we put on christ We are made one, all who believe And it is for freedom we are free Stand firm, therefore, give up the yoke of slavery
Faith working through love Praise be to christ; he lives inside of me Faith working through love What God is this He set me free!
Then God chose love and sent his only son To hang my curse upon a tree I've been crucified with christ It's no longer I who live, but christ who lives in me
Faith working through love Praise be to christ; he lives inside of me Faith working through love What God is this; he sets the captives free!
Who christ sets free is free indeed; we are made free It is for freedom we are free
How great this love that covers us Take it and say it out 'this life is ours now' Faith works through love. It's working through love
