Music and words by Adam Kersh, Brandon Coker, Heath Balltzglier and Paul Taylor Smith
Alone in my sorrow and dead in my sin,
Lost without hope with no place to begin;
Your love made a way to let mercy come in,
When death was arrested and my life began.
Oh, Your grace, so free, washes over me.
You have made me new; now life begins with You.
It's Your endless love pouring down on us.
You have made us new; now life begins with You.
Ash was redeemed, only beauty remains;
My orphan heart was given a name.
My mourning grew quiet, my feet rose to dance.
When death was arrested and my life began.
Released from my chains, I'm a prisoner no more.
My shame was a ransom He faithfully bore.
He canceled my debt and He called me His friend,
When death was arrested and my life began.
Our Savior displayed on a criminal's cross.
Darkness rejoiced as though heaven had lost.
But then Jesus arose with our freedom in hand.
That's when death was arrested and my life began.
Oh, we're free, free, forever we're free.
Come join the song of all the redeemed.
Yes, we're free, free forever, amen!
When death was arrested and my life began.
