We once were held captive under the law
Imprisoned to death, our sin made us fall
The law was our guardian until Jesus came
Through faith in our Savior, we're saved by God's grace
We're sons of our Father; baptized into Christ
He came as a ransom to give us new life
He came for all people no matter the race
Be man or a woman; God gave us the faith
We're one with Christ Jesus; a promise He made
He freed us from bondage; no longer we're slaves
The Spirit will guide us through His Holy Word
We once were held captive, but no longer cursed
