1 Verse:
Shall we continue in our shameful ways?
Shall we keep sinning in the name of grace?
Our tie to sin is severed -
How could it then be treasured?
Grace has come to reign.
2 Verse:
Shall we believe that we have died with Christ?
Did we not rise when Jesus burst alive?
Sin’s reign no longer fatal -
Its pow’r has been disabled.
We possess new life.
Chorus:
Dead to sin and alive in Jesus -
Slaves no more, we are free.
In His death and His resurrection
Grace has spoken,
Life has broken in;
We belong to Him!
3 Verse:
Shall we not fight sin’s claim to rule the throne?
Shall we not give ourselves to God alone?
Our lust brings us disaster -
The flesh will not be master;
Sin is overthrown.
Chorus:
Dead to sin and alive in Jesus -
Slaves no more, we are free.
In His death and His resurrection
Grace has spoken,
Life has broken in;
We belong to Him!
Bridge:
We shall not fear the day when death arrives!
The time at last when we shall be like Christ!
He robbed the grave its wages
And gave a gift more gracious-
His eternal life.
Chorus:
Dead to sin and alive in Jesus -
Slaves no more, we are free.
In His death and His resurrection
Grace has spoken,
Life has broken in;
We belong to Him!
