The Spirit Lives to Set Us Free (AOV 2/165)

This song comes up from time to time and I’ve never found a way of singing it that I approve of.  The text is by Damian Lundy and no-one will admit to have written the music.

The sample at AOV is about as good as it gets. Perhaps it can be saved by children singing it. This organ version sounds like a hurdy gurdy.

My version is a little Latin in desperation.

1. The Spirit lives to set us free,
walk, walk in the light.
He binds us all in unity,
walk, walk in the light.

Refrain

Walk in the light,
walk in the light,
walk in the light,
walk in the light of the Lord

2. Jesus promised life to all,
walk, walk in the light.
The dead were wakened by his call,
walk, walk in the light.

Refrain

3. He died in pain on Calvary,
walk, walk in the light,
to save the lost like you and me,
walk, walk in the light.

Refrain

4. We know his death was not the end,
walk, walk in the light.
He gave his Spirit to be our friend,
walk, walk in the light.

Refrain

5. By Jesus’ love our wounds are healed,
walk, walk in the light.
The Father’s kindness is revealed,
walk, walk in the light.

Refrain

6. The Spirit lives in you and me,
walk, walk in the light.
His light will shine for all to see,
walk, walk in the light

Refrain
