They chained our bodies, not our soul
Truth kept burning through the cold
Through the cross and through the pain
Grace ignites the freedom flame

Voices rise from every land
Holding truth in trembling hands

Light the fire, let it burn
Justice cries at every turn
Through the storm, through the shame
We will carry the freedom flame

Dr. King had a dream so wide
Mandela stood, though they tried
Malcolm spoke with fearless eyes
All stood tall, refusing lies

But the greatest freedom call
Came from Christ who died for all

Light the fire, let it burn
Justice cries at every turn
Through the storm, through the shame
We will carry the freedom flame

Chains may rattle, hate may scream
But God’s love still redeems
No more silence, no more fear
Heaven’s justice drawing near

Light the fire, let it shine
In our hearts, His truth divine
Through the storm, through the flame
We will rise in Jesus’ name
