Refrain.
The law of Christ alone can make us free,
And love is the fulfilling of the law.
The law of Christ alone can make us free,
And love is the fulfilling of the law.
The law of Christ alone can make us free,
And love is the fulfilling of the law.
The law of Christ alone can make us free,
And love is the fulfilling of the law.
Sisters and brothers
are we as God’s children;
But will the parenthood of God be known
If we do not reflect his love to others?
In charity and justice God is shown:
The law of Christ alone can make us free,
And love is the fulfilling of the law.
The law of Christ alone can make us free,
And love is the fulfilling of the law.
Millions believed the law of life is cunning
Within a world of cruelty and greed:
How can they know
God’s charity and justice
If helping hands have never reached
their need?
The law of Christ alone can make us free,
And love is the fulfilling of the law.
The law of Christ alone can make us free,
And love is the fulfilling of the law.
Christ is at work through us
who are his body:
He chooses us to witness and to teach,
To heal and raise and liberate
and strengthen,
To be his hands and eyes,
his heart and speech:
The law of Christ alone can make us free,
And love is the fulfilling of the law.
The law of Christ alone can make us free,
And love is the fulfilling of the law.
There is no promise
that we shall not suffer,
No promise that we shall not need to fight;
Only the word that love is our redemption,
And freedom comes by turning to the light.
The law of Christ alone can make us free,
And love is the fulfilling of the law.
The law of Christ alone can make us free,
And love is the fulfilling of the law.
