Free - Steven Curtis Chapman - Lyrics



The sun was beating down inside the walls of stone and razor wire 
As we made our way across the prison yard 
I felt my heart begin to race as we drew nearer to the place 
Where they say that death is waiting in the dark 
The slamming doors of iron echoed through the halls 
Where despair holds life within its cruel claws 
But then I met a man who's face seemed so strangely out of place 
A blinding light of hope was shining in his eyes 
And with repentance in his voice he told me of his tragic choice 
That led him to this place where he must pay the price 
But then his voice grew strong as he began to tell 
About the One he said had rescued him from hell, he said...

I'm free, yeah, oh, I have been forgiven 
God's love has taken off my chains and given me these wings 
And I'm free, yeah, yeah, and the freedom I've been given 
Is something that not even death can take away from me 
Because I'm free 
Jesus set me free

We said a prayed and said goodbye and tears began to fill my eyes 
As I stepped back out into the blinding sun 
And even as I drove away I found that I could not escape 
The way he spoke of what the grace of God had done 
I thought about how sin had sentenced us to die 
And how God gave His only Son so you and I could say...

And if the Son has set you free, 
Oh, if the Son has set you free 
Then you are free indeed, 
Oh, You are really free 
If the Son has set you free, 
Oh, if the Son has set you free 
Then you are free, really, really free

Oh, we're free, yearh, oh, we have been forgiven 
God's grace has broken every chain and given us these wings 
And we're free, yeah, yeah, and the freedom we've been given 
Is something that not even death can take from you and me 
Because we're free, yeah, the freedom we've been given 
Is something that not even death can take from you and me 
Becayse we're free, oh, we're free 
We are free, we are free 
The Son has set us free

If the Son has set you free 
You are free indeed
