We are all, each one of us,
equipped by God
for the call he has for us
we do not need to fear
our doubts cast aside
Our steps emboldened, pace quickened
God has set us free from sin
from fear of death
Christ, the perfect sacrifice,
acceptable, pleasing to God
paid the price we could not pay
gave us new birth
equipped for a life of service
continuing his work in the world
until all are saved as we are
