Free in God

Ronald Bunch 1982 (Grand Rapids)



I sadly sat in tearful rains of pains.
In mourning cries. My life, my life with stains.

Of blood I cry of beasts who sting my souls.
The beasts are fallen angels stinging woes.

Now pure my souls, now wet my flesh in joy,
But worried cries my heart to God annoy.

A pure and dancing roar, I see my God.
I push down sin, I live and win I nod.

The souls are pure by Jesus Christ, His heart.
Now striving rains I look in life, my part.

Now we who believe in Jesus are saved.
Our faith is living by good works, not slaved.

We are not slaves to sin, but free in God.
Have mercy on us now for we are shod.

For on His cross he paid our debts in full.
We are now free from sin, it comes to null.
