The Spirit 
that we received 
is not a spirit 
that makes us slaves 
again to fear
 The Spirit that we have 
makes us children of God

There is no fear in love, 
but perfect love
 casts out fear
 love shall cover 
a multitude of sins
Let all that you do 
be done in love
Anyone who does not love 
does not know God,
 because God is love

Jesus answered him,
 “If anyone loves me,
 he will keep my word, 
and my Father 
will love him, 
and we will
 come to him
 and make 
our home 
with him. 

I will be a father to you,
 and you will be 
my sons and daughters,
 says the Lord Almighty
You are all God’s children 
by believing
 in Christ Jesus
all who are led
 by the Spirit of God 
are children of God.

The Spirit 
that we received 
is not a spirit 
that makes us slaves 
again to fear
 The Spirit that we have 
makes us children of God
