(Inspired by John 8:36 – Lyrics by William McRea)

I was bound by chains I couldn’t see,

Lost in a world that was drowning me.

Searching for truth in the dark of the night,

Then Your love broke through with holy light.

No more fear, no more shame,

Your mercy called my name.
If the Son has set me free,

Then I am free, I am free indeed!

No more darkness, no more chains,

By His grace, I’ve been saved!

I walked alone through valleys so deep,

Haunted by memories I couldn’t keep.

But You reached down, You lifted my soul,

Now I am healed, now I am whole.


No more fear, no more shame,

Your mercy called my name.
If the Son has set me free,

Then I am free, I am free indeed!

No more darkness, no more chains,

By His grace, I’ve been saved!

Chains are broken, I stand tall,

Your love has conquered once for all!

Oh, the cross, my victory,

Jesus Christ has rescued me!

If the Son has set me free,

Then I am free, I am free indeed!

No more darkness, no more chains,

By His grace, I’ve been saved!
