[Verse 1]
Locked up and imprisoned by my mind,
By the history of my past I left behind.
Guilt, shame, blame, and regret,
Disgracing my name, but You’re not finished yet.
I keep making mistake after mistake,
Feels like my heart’s been stabbed by a stake.
Caught in the lies, wearing my disguise,
It’s hard to look anyone in the eyes.
[Bridge)
No more hiding, no more secrets,
Lord, without You, I can’t beat this.
[Chorus]
Take these chains and set me free,
You’re the only one who can rescue me.
In this world of hate, I’ll stand by faith,
‘Cause if there’s no hope, there’s nothing to take its place.
God, take over, take over my life,
Give me sight where I’ve been blind.
[Verse 2]
Trying to find myself, but I fall apart,
Listening to the noise instead of my heart.
If I’d stop talking and start to listen,
I’d hear Your voice, feel Your wisdom.
All my faults, all my fears,
Are demons whispering in my ears.
But You speak louder, You bring peace,
You calm the storm and make it cease.
[Bridge)
No more hiding, no more secrets,
Lord, without You, I can’t beat this.
[Chorus]
Take these chains and set me free,
You’re the only one who can rescue me.
In this world of hate, I’ll stand by faith,
‘Cause if there’s no hope, there’s nothing to take its place.
God, take over, take over my life,
Give me sight where I’ve been blind.
[Bridge]
You always think a little sin’s okay,
‘Til it haunts your soul and won’t go away.
So prune my tree, cut the pain away,
Let the past die, let the new day stay.
I surrender all, my heart, my fear,
God, take over — make them disappear.
[Final Chorus / Outro]
Take these chains and set me free,
You’re the only one who can rescue me.
No longer locked up, no longer confined,
Your grace rewrote this soul of mine.
God, take over, take over my life,
Now I walk by faith, not sight.
Take my heart take my fear
I just want to feel you near
Clear my soul take control
Hear my voice let it be know
With you I am set free
God hold me close
Devil let me be
