 Thank You for Setting Us Free

Thank You for setting us free.

Not a freedom to do as we please,

But a freedom to love, to serve, to be

All that You created us to be.

So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. (John 8:36)

Thank You for breaking the chains of sin—

The habits, the failures, the shame within.

For opening the prison door and calling us by name,

For trading our bondage for freedom's glorious claim.

Thank You for freedom from fear's cold grip—

The anxious heart, the trembling lip.

Perfect love has cast it out, and now we boldly stand,

Held secure in nail-scarred hands.

Thank You for freedom from the law's demands—

Its heavy weight, its harsh commands.

Not that the law was wrong or ill,

But we could never its demands fulfill.

Now in Christ, its work is done,

Its righteous goal in us is won.

It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. (Galatians 5:1)

Thank You for freedom from death's final sting—

The victory it seemed to bring.

The grave could not hold the risen Lord,

And in His triumph, life is poured

Into these mortal frames of dust,

Raised to walk in endless trust.

We are free.

Free to worship. Free to love.

Free to fix our eyes above.

Free to serve. Free to give.

Free to truly, fully live.

Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. (2 Corinthians 3:17)

So let our lives be living proof,

From the shelter of our home to the public roof,

That the One who freed us lives within,

And His freedom is our eternal hymn.

Thank You, Jesus.

Thank You for setting us free.

Amen.
