O HALLELUJAH! NOW I'M
FREE!
Don Fortner
(Tune: Higher Ground #308 LMD)
Though
long I walked the rebel's path
And ran
from God, a child of wrath,
The Lord in sovereign mercy came
And
pardoned all my sin and blame!
Awakened by the Spirit's call
From
death incurred by Adam's fall,
God
gave me faith! Grace broke my chains!
I trust
the Lamb for sinners slain!
I have
no righteousness, I know,
By
anything that I can do.
But,
still, the law gives no distress,
Christ
is the Lord my Righteousness!
His righteousness
is fully mine,
Imputed
by God's wise design,
And
with His righteous garments on,
I am as
holy as God's Son!
Complete
in Christ alone I stand,
Who met
for me the law's demands:
When He
had brought in righteousness,
Christ
died in this poor sinner's place!
Freed
from the law, in Christ I'm free!
It's
curses shall not fall on me!
Since
Jesus lives and died for me,
O
hallelujah! Now I'm, free!
