Made free! Made free! O captive

Composer: James William Elliott

Made free! Made free! O captive!

Bound by the law of sin

The law of life in Spirit

Will quicken you within.

And counting on the Spirit

His life shall now control

The members of your body

The portals of your soul.

Made free! Made free in Jesus:

For crucified with Him

From center to circumf’rence

He breaks the power of sin.

No longer act in body

As if it had no “law”;

His “law of life” must govern

All that ran wild before.

Made free! Made free in Jesus:

Deep planted in His death

He liberates His life pow’r

And breathes His Spirit’s breath.

Then waxing strong in spirit

With force of quickening life;

The soul and body governed

Its members cease from strife!

Made free! Made free in Jesus:

Joined to the Risen One

By conflict prayer you triumph

And claim His victory won.

Freed with His glorious freedom

Above the darkness rife;

For now the law of sin and death

Is conquered by His life.
