Nothing I could say, nothing I could do,
Could break the chains of sin that keep me far from you,
No riches of this world, no logic of the mind
Could ever give me hope that I could really find
The path that leads to you, a path does not exist
Apart from your great love, no greater love than this:
You gave the sacrifice, you paid the debt I owed
The burden of the law, fulfilled by your own blood.
And now I知 free, made alive with Christ,
The law that judged my guilt was nailed upon the cross.
And now I知 free, totally forgiven,
totally accepted, through nothing I could do,
Now I知 free to live for You.
Tradition on its own, knowing every creed
Could never bring me close to the righteous I need.
Knowing what to eat, or just what I can drink
Might satisfy the world and the broken way it thinks.
The tenants of the law, this yoke I try to hold,
Was crushed beneath your feet, and lifted from my soul.
And then you rose again, the victory was won,
My sin was washed away, by the blood of your own Son!
And now I知 free, made alive with Christ,
The law that judged my guilt was nailed upon the cross.
And now I知 free, totally forgiven,
totally accepted, through nothing I could do,
Now I知 free to live for You.
Made alive with Christ,
The law that judged my guilt was nailed upon the cross.
And now I知 free, totally forgiven,
totally accepted, through nothing I could do,
Now I知 free to live for You.
