FREEDOM IN CHRIST

FREEDOM IN CHRIST


Released from all the heaviness...of
Torment's guilt and shame, no more
Condemnation or piling on of blame,
No fret, worry or doubt, the Holy Spirit

Came...working inside out...like a
Mummy bound that couldn't breathe,
Jesus unwound the cloth, and in him
Alone, relief from sin and the curse of

Death, released without regret or sorrow
For tomorrow, the Master's plan reached
Into my heart and set this prisoner free,
In Jesus Christ and Christ alone forever

Redeemed, and the stone that was
Rejected became the chief corner
Stone, always Christ and him alone.
