I was once a slave to sin. I've been set free by Jesus. This song speaks of both truths. My prayer is that you will find the freedom from slavery to sin I have found.
Once a Slave
Verse 1:
I once was a slave to sin, obedient unto flesh.
I lived for myself, not for my God.
The things I did back then, brought only guilt and shame.
There was no life; there was no gain.
Bridge 1:
I was enslaved to the life of flesh.
My heart was bound in chains of sinfulness.
Dead in my sin, deserving of God’s wrath;
I needed Christ to set me free.
Verse 2:
All thanks be unto God, I am no longer bound.
I’ve been set free through faith in Christ.
All glory unto Him, the Savior of the world,
Who broke sin’s chains; Who made me new.
Bridge 2:
I count myself dead to the life of flesh.
I don’t let sin reign in my body now.
Alive in Christ, my ever-living Lord,
Who lives in me; He lives in me.
Verse 3:
I live not under law, but under God’s own grace
My righteousness is from the Lord
Not earned by what I’ve done, not by the good I know
But won by Christ, upon that tree.
Verse 4:
I live now as a slave, but not unto my flesh
I am obedient unto my Lord
The wages of my sin, they were forever death;
But the gift of God, eternal life.
