R. You gave us a new life, Lord.
You freed us from all sin, Lord,
Through the cross of your Son.
You gave us a new life, Lord.
You freed us from all sin, Lord.
Praise to you, Father God
For Christ, your Son.
1. We were lost in the night,
God spoke out from above :
“Behold my Son whom I send
To give you new life !”
2. We were slaves to our sin,
Captives bound in our chains,
But Jesus freed us
By sacrificing his life !
3. We were living in death,
When God called us by name.
Arise, come out of your tombs,
Come, put on new life !
4. On the wood of the cross,
We put Jesus to death.
But God has pardoned our sin
And given us life !
