[Verse:]
After we had fallen
You opened up our hearts
And spoke in truth
The bags we had to carry
They were getting heavy
But not for you
[Pre-chorus:]
You took up our crosses
And you cut all our losses
And paid for our freedom in you
[Chorus:]
We are forgiven, covered by the blood
Of a son who was given up for us
We are your children, adopted in a love
That could take all our mess and make us clean
[Verse 2:]
The darkness now behind us
Our hope inside a promise
You never leave
You brought us to the light God
And told us "It's alright child
Rest in me"
[Bridge:]
Hallelujah, we are free, we are free
