Free

V1

No one saw it coming the day I walked through the door

That little church house at the end of the road

Was a place I’d never been before

But Mama’s prayers finally caught up with me

So I headed down to the altar and hit my knees

Then the whole church gathered on the banks of the river

Preacher man laid me down in the water

And I came up shouting, shouting thank God

CH

I’m free

He saved my soul and he washed me clean

I’m free

The chains no longer have a hold on me

Thank God, thank God almighty

I’m free

V2

It’s been many years now but I still remember well

The choir was singing and the praises were ringing

As I cried out to Jesus and the fire fell

And since that day down by the river

When the cleansing power saved and delivered

I’m still shouting, shouting thank God

BR

Free from the past

Free from sin

Glory hallelujah been born again

Free from the shackles

That had me bound

I’m singing this song, singing it loud

CH
