Free

Isaiah 42:5-7;

Jn

8:31-36;

Rom

8:38-39

The sun was beating down inside

The walls of stone and razor wire

As we made our way across the prison yard

I felt my heart begin to race

As we drew nearer to the place

Where they say that death

Is waiting in the dark

The slamming doors of iron

Echoed through the halls

Where despair holds life

Within its cruel claws

But then I met a man

Whose face seemed so

Strangely out of place

A blinding light of hope

Was shining in his eyes

And with repentance in his voice

He told me of his tragic choice

That led him to this place

where he must pay the price

But then his voice grew strong

As he began to tell

About the one he said

Had rescued him from Hell, he said

I'm free, yeah, oh,

I have been forgiven

God's love has taken off my chains,

And given me these wings

And I am free, yeah, yeah

And the freedom I've been given

Is something that not even

Death can take away from me

Because I'm free

Jesus set me free

We said a prayer and said good-bye,

And tears began to fill my eyes

As I stepped back out into the blinding sun

And even as I drove away I found

That I could not escape

The way he spoke of what

The grace of God had done

I thought about how sin

Had sentenced us to die

And how God gave His only Son

So you and I could say

I'm free, yeah, oh,

I have been forgiven

God's love has taken off my chains,

And given me these wings

And I am free, yeah, yeah

And the freedom I've been given

Is something that not even

Death can take away from me

Because I'm free

Jesus set me free

And if the Son has set you free

Oh if the Son has set you free

Than you are free indeed,

Oh, you are really free

If the Son has set you free

Oh if the Son has set you free

Than you are free, really, really free, oh

We're free, yeah,

Oh we have been forgiven

God's grace has broken every chain,

And given us these wings

And we're free, yeah,

and the freedom we've been given

Is something that not even

death can take from you and me

Because we're free, yeah

and the freedom I've been given

Is something that not even

death can take away from me

Because we're free

We are free, we are free

The Son has set us free

If the Son has set you

You are free indeed
