Written for a sermon series on Galatians 5:16-26 preached by Jay S. Thomas, while College Pastor at College Church, Wheaton, IL.

For God so loved us while still sinners
Christ became our sacrifice
God is love, He covers many
Clothes us like a child

His steadfast love endures forever
Age to age He will not blanch
Love the Lord and love your neighbor
By His love we live.

Sing praise to the King who freed you
To Him do you belong
We can’t help but bear the fruit of
Christ Jesus, Lord of all

He shows us the life worth living
Grants lives of righteous yield
Due thanks to the God who changed you
To Him alone you kneel.

The joy of God is overflowing
From Himself through all the land
There is joy but it can only
Be hung from His hand

With every step the Word commands us
God’s great peace should rule our lives
Peace from God will guard us fully
If we rest in Christ
