Free to Live as Victors

These my people are forgiven
All their sins are washed away;
With my blood I bought their pardon,
Now there’s nothing more to pay.

All their guilt and condemnation,
All the wrath and bitter shame,
All their sin I took and canceled
When they called upon my Name.

Now they’re free to live as victors
Free from sin and death and fear,
Partners in my life eternal
With a record pure and clear.

Though the tempter may accuse them,
Seek to fill their minds with doubt,
Nothing stands to block their access –
All their sin is blotted out.

While I live, they’re heirs of heaven,
Kept and guided by my love;
Robed in white they’ll live forever
In their home of light above.
