Love Came To Set Me Free

I see freedom coming through

For I know God’s Word is always true

 

When I stand on the Word of God

It’s how He keeps me in awe

 

It’s love that drew me in

Now I have freedom from my sin

 

Now I carry my burdens to the cross

It’s how I keep from being lost

 

It was love that found me first

For His Word I hunger, and I thirst

 

Now His Commands are what I keep

It’s His face that I want to seek

 

I’m free, I’m free at last

To never be a slave to my past

 

It’s His love that breaks my chains

Even when my tears flow like rain

 

My scars are being healed

With His Spirit is how I’m sealed

 

Christs’ Spirit is now my guide

He’ll never leave my side

 

This is how live came to set me free

When He died on that cursed tree

With Arms Spread Open

With arms spread open, open wide

On that cursed tree He died

As a ransom for you and me

His blood was spilled to set us free

He was beaten, bloodied, black and blue

Not a word was said, for this is true

He set us free from sin and shame

There’s resurrection power in His name

He conquered death and the grave

For mankind He came to save

His Spirit was sent to be our guide

He said come to Me with arms spread wide

I got all this from His Word

Not just something I have heard

Forgiveness came with a price

He came and died to give us life

We are now an heir to His Throne

For we believe earth is not our home

Do you believe that Jesus is the only way

For me and you He came to save
