Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

I then shall live as one who?s been forgiven;

I?ll walk with joy to know my debts are paid.

I know my name is clear before my Father;

I am His child, and I am not afraid.

So greatly pardoned, I?ll forgive my brother,

The law of love I gladly will obey.


I then shall live as one who?s learned compassion;

I?ve been so loved that I?ll risk loving too.

I know how fear builds walls instead of bridges;

I?ll dare to see another?s point of view.

And when relationship demand commitment,

Then I?ll be there to care and follow through.


Your kingdom come around and through and in me;

Your power and glory, let them shine through me;

Your Hallowed name, O may I bear with honor,

And may You living Kingdom come in me.

The Bread of Life, O may I share with honor,

And may You feed a hungry world through me.

Amen. Amen. Amen.
