[Intro – Slow Piano and Guitar]
I wore the chains so long
I forgot what freedom felt like.
Then mercy called my name,
And You pulled me into new life.
[Verse 1]
I was carrying shame like a weight on my back,
Trying to outrun every piece of my past.
Every wrong turn kept replaying again,
Till Your grace stepped in and called me a friend.
I thought I had to earn every breath that I took,
Trying to be good enough, living by the book.
But the cross already settled what I couldn’t repay.
You broke every chain and rolled the stone away.
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m not who I was.
I’ve been washed by the blood.
The prison door is open,
And I’m walking out because—
[Chorus]
I am free, free in Christ Jesus.
No chain, no fear can keep me.
You paid the price.
You gave me life.
Now nothing stands between us.
I am free, free from condemnation.
Free from the lies that controlled me.
I won’t go back.
I’m done with that.
Your Spirit lives inside me.
You broke the chains.
You called my name.
I’m free in Christ Jesus.
[Beat Drop]
No longer bound!
No longer lost!
Freedom came
Through the power of the cross!
Hands up high!
Let the whole world know!
Who the Son sets free
Doesn’t live like a slave anymore!
[Verse 2]
I had guilt in my head, had regret in my chest,
Trying to hide all the places where I made a mess.
But grace didn’t run when it saw my worst.
Love took the nails and the weight of the curse.
Now I stand firm, Galatians five-one.
Freedom was bought through the blood of the Son.
I’m not going back to the chains that broke.
I’ve got new life, new fire, new hope.
I don’t serve fear.
I don’t bow to shame.
My past lost power when You spoke my name.
The enemy talks, but the truth talks louder.
I’m a child of God, walking in Your power.
[Chorus]
I am free, free in Christ Jesus.
No chain, no fear can keep me.
You paid the price.
You gave me life.
Now nothing stands between us.
I am free, free from condemnation.
Free from the lies that controlled me.
I won’t go back.
I’m done with that.
Your Spirit lives inside me.
[Bridge – Slow Gospel Build]
It was for freedom
That Christ set me free.
So I will stand firm.
No chains back on me.
I am forgiven.
I am redeemed.
I am made new
By the King of all kings.
The old life is gone.
The new has begun.
I’m not a slave.
I belong to the Son.
[Final Beat Drop]
Free from the fear!
Free from the shame!
Free from the past
That was calling my name!
Free by His love!
Free by His grace!
I left every chain
At the foot of the grave!
[Final Chorus]
I am free, free in Christ Jesus.
No chain, no fear can keep me.
You paid the price.
You gave me life.
Now nothing stands between us.
I will stand firm.
I won’t turn around.
The cross is my freedom.
I’m no longer bound.
You broke the chains.
You called my name.
I’m free in Christ Jesus.
[Outro]
It is for freedom
That Christ has set us free.
Galatians 5:1
