Verse 1
There was a pit deep down inside of me- a need revealed by laws I could not keep.
And it's demands had put a curse over my head and blinded me with shame- I could not see.
Refrain
Then God chose love and sent his only son to hang my curse upon a tree.
I've been crucified with Christ; It's no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me.
Verse 2
The foolish are working in the flesh, but only Spirit will perfect- By Faith He's been received.
Now sons, now daughters, we put on Christ.
We are made one- all who believe.
And it is for freedom we are free. Stand firm, therefore, give up the yoke of slavery.
Chorus:
Faith working through love. Praise be to Christ; He lives inside of me.
Faith working through love. What God is this-- He set me free!
Refrain
Then God chose love and sent his only son to hang my curse upon a tree.
I've been crucified with Christ; It's no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me.
Chorus:
Faith working through love. Praise be to Christ; He lives inside of me.
Faith working through love. What God is this-- He sets the captives free! (x2)
