In a fullness of love, Given to us from God above. We are given our freedom As we live in His kingdom.
At the sound of His name, We are lifted from all shame. His Love removes the stain, And we are declared not guilty of blame.
We know just where we have been, Back in the days we lived in sin. We won't backslide to there again, Once was enough for where we've been.
Anchored by His holy song, We know we are loved and understood. We trust our love where we belong, Walking our faith where others have stood.
Side by side, we are accountable To do all righteousness we are capable. Love, then, is our true measure. What is done for the least is our treasure.
We know just where we have been, Back in the days we lived in sin. We won't backslide to there again, Once was enough for where we've been.
We know that some learned the hard way. Consider the self as Exhibit A. There were times we were scared to live. But in the God-shine, we've learned to give.
Hindsight will never really let us go, Not in plain sight of truth's flow. We have learned this in our repentance While letting go of our reluctance.
We know just where we have been, Back in the days we lived in sin. We won't backslide to there again, Once was enough for where we've been.

Heading out of Australia to escape this Aussie winter. First stop Japan, then UK/Ireland and if work doesn't call me back, onto Chicago. I will make it up as I go along
