Free At Last

“When lost and sad, in deep despair
I walked with sin and failed to care
I thought that Christ was just a word
The word of God was quite absurd

But now I’m blessed! You came my way
Your Holy Ghost You gave that day
The Flame of Christ burns deep within
You’ve cleansed this child of all my sin

You’ve set me free of Satan’s hold
You’ve brought me in from out the cold
From You my God I’ll never part
But serve in Christ with all my heart

I’ve cast from me the fowler’s snare
Salvation’s cup in Christ I share
You gave this child a swift release
And brought with joy the sweetest peace

Throughout my life this love I’ve yearned
Tears I’ve shed till eyes have burned
You blessed the day it’s wondrous dawn
The second time this child was born

My soul was bound but now is free
In Christ to You I bend my knee
I now repent of all before
The things I did I do no more

I praise You Lord I’m so relieved
Now gone is he who once deceived
You have my heart the doubts have fled
To Satan’s filth this child is dead

Lord now I yearn to tell the earth
What life is like with second birth?
Your living truth that all may see
What Christ Your Son has done for me”
