I once was a slave,
under curse of the Law,
not accepting that Christ
had settled sin’s score.
I thought in myself
I could keep God’s commands,
but fell so far short of
what His law demands.
The Commandments condemned me:
I was sentenced to die.
For mercy I pleaded.
For grace I did cry.
“Twas then that I saw it:
Christ died in my stead.
He paid the full ransom:
To the law I’m now dead.
I now live in Christ,
and He lives in me.
The law can’t entrap me:
forever I’m free.
I live by His Spirit--
no longer condemned.
For Christ is my Savior.
On faith I depend.
Each day in the morning
I rise up to pray.
I ask that God’s grace
in me He’ll display.
May love, joy, and peace
flow out from my heart
that I might to others
Christ’s Spirit impart.
