Chains of Freedom

(oh Lord)

Broken shattered chains around you lay

In the dust is where they should have stayed

Left to rust and wear away

Why do we mend what fell today?

Link by link we try to bind The heavy weight we left

behind

Why do we try

to repair our bonds?

Why look back to where we started from?

(tell me

why)

We were freed,

we were ransomed We were pulled right out of the dark

Cast off those chains,

cast off the weight

Leave every shackle

by the gate

Whom the Son has freed

is free

indeed

Lay down your burden,

find your peace (free indeed,

yeah)

Those old iron links hold no

true relief

Only the hollow chill of grief

Forged by the one who spreads the lies

A cunning master of disguise Don't let him lock

you down again

Turn to the Way,

turn to the Truth

Turn to the One

who fashioned you! (turn around!) No

more iron,

no

more fear!

(no

more

fear!) Grace has broken the lock right here!

Cast off those chains,

cast off the weight

Leave every shackle

by the gate

Whom the Son has freed

is free

indeed

Lay down your burden,

pick up His peace (hallelujah,

free indeed)

Broken in the dust

Leave them to the rust

(you are free)
