CHAINS DON’T WIN

Verse 1

I woke up shakin’, sweatin’ through the sheets,

Hands like thunder and a heart off‑beat.

Every demon I’d fed came knockin’ again,

Whisperin’, “You’ll fall back, boy — you’ll never win.”

But I dropped to my knees in the middle of the fight,

Said, “Jesus, I’m dyin’ here — I need Your light.”

And the darkness trembled when I spoke His name,

’Cause hell can’t hold what the Lord reclaims.

Chorus

Chains don’t win when the Savior walks in,

When the blood hits the battle, that’s the end of sin.

I was bound, I was broken, I was losin’ the fight—

But the power of Heaven set my soul upright.

I’m standin’ here sober, redeemed again—

Let the whole world know: chains don’t win.

Verse 2

I fought through the cravings, the nights of despair,

The voices that told me God wasn’t there.

But every sunrise brought a little more grace,

A little more strength, a little more faith.

I learned to breathe again, learned to stand tall,

Learned that Jesus never left me through it all.

And the man I am now ain’t the man I was then—

I’m livin’ proof that chains don’t win.

Chorus

Chains don’t win when the Savior walks in,

When the blood hits the battle, that’s the end of sin.

I was bound, I was broken, I was losin’ the fight—

But the power of Heaven set my soul upright.

I’m standin’ here sober, redeemed again—

Let the whole world know: chains don’t win.

Final Chorus (Full Choir)

Chains don’t win when the Savior walks in,

When the mighty hand of Jesus crushes every sin.

I walked through the valley, but I didn’t stay—

My God reached down and He made a way.

From the hollers to the heavens, hear me testify again:

I’m alive today ’cause chains don’t win.

Chains don’t win… chains don’t win…

By the blood of the Lamb, chains don’t win…
