From condemnation, accusation
the truth of the gospel frees us
We're freed from the claw of death’s dead law
By the life-giving law of Jesus
What God has done through the Christ His Son
the law in the flesh can’t achieve
Vanquishing sin that corrupts within
Making righteous the ones who believe
Our minds will show where our bodies go
To the flesh or to the Spirit
But life in the flesh results in death
A terrible fate; we should fear it
The Spirit gives life that's free from strife
It’s the only peace we can know
God spurns the plans of the fleshly man
He who follows the world is God’s foe
If our hearts we give to Christ we'll live
For we have his Spirit within
Though in sin we're dead, we need not dread
In the Spirit we are saved from sin
The power that raised Christ from the grave
Will give life to our bodies too
The Spirit, God's breath, saves us from death
Those he dwells in he raises up new
So follow the One who raised the Son
The things of the flesh all decay
Kill every lust, place all your trust
In our God, let us walk in his way
The Spirit now leads the people God's freed
Adopted as His own children
Set free, we're not slaves, no more afraid
But sons of our Father in heaven
As sons we’re heirs, so the Spirit swears
Enjoying Christ’s inheritance
But first comes the cross, with all its loss
Then glory from God’s vast abundance
Life hurts a lot, but it’s just a dot
In the ocean of joy we’ll see
Creation waits for God’s promised date
Longing to finally be set free
Lord, set us free from futility,
Rescue us from corruption
Creation groans, and with it we moan
Impatient to have our adoption
The Spirit sprouts, there’s never a doubt
He’ll redeem our bodies someday
We can’t see it now, but still somehow
We’ll walk patiently along God’s way
We’re too weak to pray, no words to say
The Spirit breathes groans in our stead
But God knows his groans, they are his own
They’re exactly what He would have said
If we love the Lord, all things reward
We are called, and he’s not yet done
From the start he knew what he would do
To make us look like Jesus his Son
A great family is what we’ll be
With Jesus our king and our brother
He’s summoned us near, freed us from fear
And given us glory and splendor
There’s no more to say, God took away
All reasons to send us to hell
He gave us his Son and isn’t yet done
Ev’ry good thing He gives us as well
The people God chose, no more his foes
He washes them, they're clean indeed
Christ Jesus who died is by his side
To ask from God ev’rything they need
Though fear, pain and grief come like a thief
To steal from us the love of God
The powers will see our victory
Creation will rise up and applaud
Though they slay us now, we will somehow
Overcome by means of God’s love
The rulers will fail, Christ will prevail
And unite us with heaven above
