(Heavy guitar riff intro)
Verse 1
(Slightly muted, driving rhythm)
No chains on my soul, the verdict's been thrown
The power of death, it no longer owns
This body of mine, from the sin that would lead
To the grave, I've been freed, by the life-giving seed
The law couldn't break, the curse that was set
But God sent His Son, to erase every debt
No longer I walk by the flesh, in the dark
Now I follow the Spirit, I carry the mark
Chorus
(Full band, raw, emotional)
This is the life, the peace in my mind
Leave the old nature behind, leave the fear undefined
Controlled by the Spirit, a fire in the heart
We are the children, a brand new start
Groaning, we're waiting, for the glory to break
Nothing can touch us, for goodness sake
If God is for us, then who stands against?
This is the victory, the final defense!
Verse 2
(More dynamic, building intensity)
If you're ruled by the dark, you'll think about death
A mind hostile, taking its final breath
But we've got the Spirit, the pulse that's alive
In spite of the pain, by His power we strive
To kill off the deeds of the nature that clings
We are led by the Spirit, the song that it sings
We're no longer slaves, no spirit of fear
"Abba, Father," the voice we can hear!
Chorus
(Full band, raw, emotional)
This is the life, the peace in my mind
Leave the old nature behind, leave the fear undefined
Controlled by the Spirit, a fire in the heart
We are the children, a brand new start
Groaning, we're waiting, for the glory to break
Nothing can touch us, for goodness sake
If God is for us, then who stands against?
This is the victory, the final defense!
Bridge
(Slower, melodic, then a sudden surge)
Creation is groaning, like birth pains that sting
Waiting for freedom, the new life it brings
The Spirit helps us, we don't know the words
But He prays through the silence, in harmony heard
Everything's working, for the good of the call
Chosen and destined, we stand up so tall
He gave up His Son, will He hold back the rest?
No! We are acquitted, put to the test!
Guitar Solo
(Intense, soaring, then resolving)
Outro
(Repeat and fade with crashing drums and sustained guitar feedback)
Nothing! No death, no life, no fear, no hell!
Nothing can separate!
From the love that is God, revealed in His Son!
Nothing! Nothing!
(End with final, sustained chord)
