Ascend The Hill Inheritance song lyrics

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!
