The devil’s chains, once had me bound
Within my loathsome jail
Until the day God’s truth I found
And Jesus; paid my bail
This slave was free! No-more alone
Still God; I failed to see
The One who bought me as His own
Wherever could He be?
I know my Saviour lives within
I know because I feel
I know because I’m cleansed of sin
And have Salvation’s Seal
“You’re free; my child, go on your way”
I heard my Master’s voice
“You’re free to work, to sin and play
You’re free, to make your choice”
I loved the sound, that “I” was free
To choose what I could do
I turned to Him I couldn’t see
And said “I’ll stay with You”
Christ took from me, my heavy load
He gave to drink Life’s Wine
I felt my heart would soon explode
God’s Spirit now was mine
Almighty God; had come to me!
Such warmth I feel within
Now all I’ve heard, I must agree
It’s foolish still to sin
From Christ; this child, will never leave
The world has nought for me
No more can Satan’s lies deceive
I’m free! Thank God, I’m free.
