For Freedom Christ Has Set Me Free

by Joseph Mathias   Release year: 2025 


Verse 1

For freedom Christ has set me free
I'll bear no burdens of slavery
From death to life he purchased me
And I know no other master

Verse 1 (continued)

In times gone by, in darker days
A harsher lord I served
But Christ has dealt with me by grace
And not as I deserve

Verse 2

Mine was the debt, he paid the fee
Mine was the guilt, his the agony
His dying words my saving plea
And his wounds my only pardon

Verse 2 (continued)

O Christ my Lord victorious
I conquer in your strife
I cannot boast but in your cross
Nor live but in your life

Bridge

Then let the old man pass away
A new creation has begun
For we are children of the day
Sin was the night, Christ is the dawn

Verse 3

Then to your will my heart incline
The life I live is no longer mine
I am the branch and you the vine
And your Spirit lives within me

Verse 3 (continued)

And when this world shall cease to be
In you I shall endure
For freedom Christ has set me free
And I know no other master

Bridge

Then let the old man pass away
A new creation has begun
For we are children of the day
Sin was the night, Christ is the dawn

Bridge (repeated)

Then let the old man pass away
A new creation has begun
For we are children of the day
Sin was the night, Christ is the dawn

Note: In verse 2, the recording incorrectly says "his dying words my only plea". The lyrics on this page and the lead sheet both say "his dying words my saving plea" and are correct.
