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.
