I was lost, so far from home
I believed the lie I was alone
It kept me dark
These lies I believed
They kept me blind
But now I see that
When I retreated inside
Your love was always with me all the time
For freedom
You paid the price to give me life
Now I choose
To bring glory to your name
To your name
I was lost, so far from home
I believed the lie I was alone
It kept me dark
These lies I believed
They kept me blind
But now I see that
It's the cross that gives us life
The precious blood of Jesus Christ
This love poured out
Is what we testify
Our sins are forgiven
Our robes are white
You brought us out of darkness
Into hope
You came and rescued us
We are yours
For freedom
You paid the price to give me life
Now I choose
To bring glory to your name
To your name
To your name
To your name
To your name
You gave it all to make me yours
Now I give you all of me
You gave it all to make me yours
Now I give you everything
Nothing can separate me
Nothing can hold me down
Not death or life can take me
From this love I found
I'm always on your mind
Your thoughts are love and kindness
I'm always on your mind
Your thoughts are love and kindness
Nothing can separate me
Nothing can hold me down
Not death or life can take me
From this love I found
I'm always on your mind
Your thoughts are love and kindness
I'm always on your mind
Your thoughts are love and kindness
For freedom
You paid the price to give me life
Now I choose
To bring glory to your name
To your name
To your name
To your name
To your name
For freedom
For freedom
For freedom
You gave it all
For freedom
