Free

Free - Steven Curtis Chapman (斯蒂文-柯蒂斯-查普曼)

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 whose 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

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

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 away from 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
