I heard the chains rattle they told me your name
A runaway soul but the guilt stayed the same
The letter in my hand it's heavy like stone
Forgiveness a bridge when the heart feels alone
You left with the night took the weight of the blame
But grace calls louder it's a new kind of fame
Can a heart heal the cracks of a runaway’s shame
We're all prisoners here till love breaks the frame
He called you a brother not a thief in the dark
A bond of the spirit not a crime on the mark
What's owed is returned but the soul is the gift
The past is a mountain forgiveness the lift
You see it's not blood but the love that we share
Not law but redemption that answers the prayer
Every wrong has a price but the debt’s been erased
The ledger wiped clean by the ink of grace
Chains broken words unspoken
Grace like water the dam is open
Forgive and free that's the token
Chains broken chains broken
Yo I met a man shackled in the past
Carrying chains he thought would always last
Letters in his hands ink on the page
Words of freedom breaking bars of rage
Forgiveness ain't soft it's a bold move
Rewriting the script changing the groove
You wronged me once but now you're my kin
Grace flips the script let the healing begin
I see the weight you carried I know the cost
But love redeems what we thought we lost
A runaway soul now coming back home
Grace writes a story no man could have known
The past tried to hold us but it couldn't stay
New life blooms in the light of today
Philemon’s words they echo so true
We forgive we heal we start anew
This ain't just talk this is transformation
A bond deeper than any foundation
Brother to brother we let go of pride
Building a bridge where a chasm used to divide
Chains unbroken hearts wide open
Love speaks louder than the pain unspoken
We rise we mend we build again
Reconciled we're stronger than we've ever been
In Christ's embrace, where grace abounds,
No earthly chains or status sounds.
We shed the skin of pride and fame,
United by His holy name.
From every tribe and tongue we rise,
Reflecting love in humble eyes.
No rich, no poor, no slave, no free,
Just souls redeemed for eternity.
The cross reveals a level ground,
Where mercy's call is all around.
So let us break the walls within,
And let the true healing begin.
Embrace the stranger, lost and lone,
For in their hearts, Christ makes His throne.
In unity, our spirits blend,
As equals till the very end.
This is Philemon
