This Is How It Feels to Be Free (feat. Charles Allen)

This Is How It Feels To Be Free - Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir

There's a wall that has been standing since the day that Adam fell

Sin is where it started and sin is why it held

Speaking as a prisoner who was there and lived to tell

I remember how it fell

I could hear the sound of freedom; like a distant voice it called

And beckoned me to follow where I had never gone

Though my heart was willing I just stood there at the wall

Praying somehow it would fall

But in a cross I found a doorway and the hand that held the keys

And when the chains fell at my feet for the first time I could see

This is how it feels to be free

This is what it means to know that I am forgiven

This is how it feels to be free

To see that life can be more than I imagined

This is how it feels to be free yeah

This is how it feels to be free yeah

There are days when I'm reminded of the prison I was in

Like a livin' nightmare burning deep within

I can feel the voice of evil I can hear the call of sin

But I won't go back again

See once I've tasted freedom and the chains could bind no more

Mercy gave me wings to fly; like an eagle I can soar

This is how it feels to be free

This is what it means to know that I am forgiven

This is how it feels to be free

To see that life can be more than I imagined

This is how it feels to be free yeah

This is how it feels to be free yeah

Somewhere there's a prison where the chains still bind

There but for the grace of God those walls could still be mine

So for all the captives I say:

This is how it feels to be free

This is what it means to know that I am forgiven

This is how it feels to be free

To see that life can be more than I imagined

This is how it feels to be free yeah

This is how it feels to be free

This is what it means to know that I am forgiven

This is how it feels to be free

To see that life can be more than I imagined

This is how it feels to be free yeah

This is how it feels to be free yeah

This is how it feels to be free yeah

This is how it feels to be free
