how we became free – v2

We retell the story

the mystery of faith

each time we gather

around the Lord’s Table.

We share the telling

how we became free

His body broken,

His blood poured out

for you, for me,

for all humanity.

We just have to believe

and submit our will to Him

that Jesus Christ is Lord,

our rock and Redeemer

the Savior who died to save us

to set us free from death.

We retell the story

of the creation of our people

each time we gather

around the Lord’s table.
