Song Lyrics

---

Once we were slaves
Every one of us
Slaves to sin
And all we’d done
In the dark
We tried to hide
We lived in fear
For all of our lives
Until He came with grace

We will not live in fear again
For we have the Spirit of adoption
Through Him we cry out unto God
“Our Father” though the blood of the Son
And we are God’s children

Through the Spirit
There is freedom
With His own blood
He paid our ransom
By His grace
He has sealed us
By His strength
He will keep us
We are saved by His grace

We will not live in fear again
For we have the Spirit of adoption
Through Him we cry out unto God
“Our Father” though the blood of the Son
And we are God’s children

Though there’ll be times
We start to doubt
Everything He
Is working out
The Holy Spirit
Lives in us
He is the proof
Of God’s love

We will not live in fear again
For we have the Spirit of adoption
Through Him we cry out unto God
“Our Father” though the blood of the Son
And we are God’s children

Romans 8:15-16 – “For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption. And by Him we cry, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit Himself bears witness with our Spirit that we are children of God.”
