Free Lyrics - Singles - Stephen Curtis Chapman

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 prayer 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, yeah, 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 

Because 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
