Creepin’ in the shadows, whisperin’ in my ear
Chains of guilt and misery, draggin’ me near
Mockin’ every heartbeat, laughin’ at my fall
“Boy, you’re mine forever, you can’t escape my call”
I ran through the alleys, but I couldn’t hide
Every step I took, he was right by my side
Hopeless and broken, I cried out in pain
Then I heard a voice callin’ out my name
Satan, get away from me!
I won’t live in chains eternally
I found the light, I found the key
Jesus, Lord, set my spirit free
On a corner preacher standin’, shoutin’ ‘bout the Lamb
Spoke of grace and mercy, said, “Take His hand!”
Knees hit the pavement, tears began to fall
“Lord, I need your mercy, please forgive it all!”
I saw the heavens open, I felt the glory shine
Angels sang around me, “Child, you’re now divine!”
The darkness started breakin’, my chains fell to the ground
Peace washed over me, I heard no taunting sound
Satan, you can’t follow me!
The blood of Christ is my victory
I found the light, I found the key
Jesus, Lord, set my spirit free
Eyes opened slowly, breath filled my chest
No more torture, no more unrest
Every step I’m praisin’, every day I sing
Glory to my Savior, my Deliverer, my King!
Satan, you got no hold on me!
I walk in grace and liberty
I found the light, I found the key
God above, I’ll praise eternally
No more chains, I’m free at last
Yesterday’s torment, forever in the past
Hands to the sky, my soul redeemed
Living in His mercy, my eternal dream
