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
