Chainless

Do you know what Christ did for you?

Do you know the cross He bore?

Do you know you are forgiven;

Purified, redeemed, restored?

Do you know why Jesus did that?

Why He came down from above?

Well, there is a simple answer:

He did it all because of love.

For love He took the many beatings

In love He wore the crown of thorns

For love He faced the hilltop, meeting

Wrath and separation; scorn

From men who did not understand

That He was dying in their stead.

In love He took the nails through hands

That healed the lame and raised the dead.

In love He cried, "Father, forgive them!"

In love He died and rose again.

So we come forward as His children

For He saved us from our sin.

Jesus Christ is Love Incarnate

Living Mercy, Mighty Grace

Apparently He thinks we're worth it;

Meager us! Finding a place

Adopted as the Father's children,

Washed and cleansed by Jesus! Free

From former stains and sin's destruction;

Chainless. Called to purity.
