True Liberation - Galatians 5: 1

As a believer in Christ 
instructed to stand fast 
in our purchased liberty 
from our yoke of the past 

This is our gift been given 
from Christ our atoning substitute 
as He paid the perfect sacrifice 
so we can bear its fruit 

Freedom we have received 
from the yoke of our bondage 
set free in the love of Christ 
escape from God's awful rage 

So let us walk freely 
for in Christ free we've been set 
not entangled anymore in sin 
to Christ we owe this debt 

For to God, we give thanks 
we stand in true liberation 
freely given by His grace 
to receive His great salvation 

AUTHOR NOTES: Galatians 5:1 (KJV) 1. Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and not be entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
