SET FREE
This is the day You lovingly gave
Your life away for me
You asked the cup to pass from You
But death it had to be.
For I was bound in sin and death
Never to be free
Unless Your sacrificial blood
Was shed upon a tree.
You hung in pain and agony
Obeying Your Father’s will
Showing compassion for the thief
His longing heart to fill.
You finally cried, “It is finished”
My freedom and salvation bought
My inheritance ready and waiting
If only You I sought.
One day I completely realized
How much You’d given for me
And opened my heart to receive you
Forever Your child to be.
What wondrous love, my Savior,
that You would die for me
Amazing grace so undeserved
Through You I’ve been set free!
