He Died to Free Us

[Sue J Love]

It was God’s will to crush Him,
That He might die for our sins.
By faith in our Lord Jesus,
All our sins are now forgiven.

But faith not just words spoken,
Faith results – obedience,
Our sins all now forsaken,
As we now do walk with Him.

We walk with Him now daily,
Our desire now for Him,
We follow where He leads us,
And now daily die to sin.

We love our times spent with Him
In our fellowship with Him,
Our desire to learn from Him,
And to listen now to Him.

He died so He would free us
From control of sin’s allure,
So we would now obey Him,
And in Him we’d now mature.

So if sin is still your practice,
Trust in Christ for your escape,
Die to sin, give your life to Him,
And now follow in His ways.

For if sin, we still walk in it,
And to God no obedience,
Then we do not have the promise,
Of a home there up in heaven.
