Out of bondage, free at last Full of fear, I was tormented by failure I was paralyzed by choices I had made In the night before my eyes The taunting ghost would rise The memories of the things I could not change Then Jesus said my past could be forgiven Painful shackles could all be torn away To the chains that held me tight God's power would be the light And I could know the freedom of a child Out of bondage, into freedom Out of darkness, into light Out of guilt to confirmation And out of blindness, into sight Into glorious liberation From the chains that held me fast Out of bondage, into freedom From my prison I'm free From my prison I'm free I'm free from the fear of tomorrow I'm free from the guilt of the past I've traded my shackles for a glorious song I'm free, out of bondage I'm free, praise the Lord, free at last I'm free, praise the Lord, free at last
