Liberty

[Verse 1]
I was bound to a life in the shadows
Iron-barred dreaming of freedom
For questions and pressures and setbacks had cuffed my hopes
I remember the moment You found me
Shackled so short of Your glory
You vanquished the clench of my failures to free my soul

[Chorus]
Because of You, Jesus
There are no more chains on me
Because of You, Jesus
I have liberty, I have liberty

[Verse 2]
At the cross I exchanged my condition
Guilty for purely forgiven
I still stand in awe that Your heavenly rights are mine
For the nails were the keys to a promise
My gravest misdeeds are forgotten
The wide open tomb was Your verdict
I too could rise, rise, rise

[Chorus]
Because of You, Jesus
There are no more chains on me
Because of You, Jesus
I have liberty, I have liberty

[Bridge]
So my free heart lifts up Your praise
My free soul worships Your name
All I am exalts You again and again and again and again
So my free heart lifts up Your praise
My free soul worships Your name
All I am exalts You again and again and again

[Chorus]
Because of You, Jesus
There are no more chains on me
Because of You, Jesus
I have liberty, I have liberty

[Verse 3]
And the times I’m surprised by my old self
Like a free man who pines for his jail cell
I won’t lose the message You left on its walls in blood
The sentence for sin is now over
And follow my footsteps for closure
Let’s walk in the fresh air of freedom
For it is done, done, done

[Chorus]
Because of You, Jesus
There are no more chains on me (On me, on me)
Because of You, Jesus
I have liberty (I have liberty)
I have liberty (I have liberty)
