Freedom and life are ours

Author: Christopher Idle (born 1938) Hymnal: Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) #544 (1987) Hymnal Title: Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) Lyrics: 1 Freedom and life are ours for Christ has set us free! never again submit to powers that lead to slavery: Christ is the Lord who breaks our chains, our bondage ends, Christ is the rescuer who makes the helpless slaves his friends. 2 Called by the Lord to use our freedom and be strong, not letting liberty excuse a life of blatant wrong: freed from the law's stern hand God's gift of grace to prove, know that the law's entire demand is gladly met by love. 3 Spirit of God, come, fill, emancipate us all! speak to us, Word of truth, until before his throne we fall: glory and liberty our Father has decreed, and if the Son shall make us free we shall be free indeed!
