My chains are gone

I used to walk with my head down, shackled by the shame

Thought the weight of my own sorrow was the only game

Lived my life inside a prison, the walls were made of fear

'Til a new sound broke the silence, said"You don't belong here!"

(LEAD) My chains are gone! I've been set free!

(CHOIR) Hallelujah!

(LEAD) Forgiven and redeemed for all eternity!

(CHOIR) Amen! Amen!

(LEAD) I'm gonna dance on this old dusty floor

'Cause the ghost that used to haunt me don't live here anymore!

Now I'm walking in the daylight, I've got no need to hide

Got this river of rejoicing just a-flowin' deep inside

Gonna lift my hands up to the sky, got no reason to be shy

If somebody asks me what's changed, I'll look 'em in the eye and testify!

(LEAD) My chains are gone! I've been set free!

(CHOIR) Hallelujah!

(LEAD) Forgiven and redeemed for all eternity!

(CHOIR) Amen! Amen!

(LEAD) I'm gonna dance on this old dusty floor

'Cause the ghost that used to haunt me don't live here anymore!

(LEAD) Can I get a witness?

(CHOIR) Oh, yeah!

(LEAD) Who broke the chains?

(CHOIR) Jesus!

(LEAD) Who took away the pain?

(CHOIR) Jesus!

(LEAD) I'm gonna shout His name now!

(CHOIR) Shout His name!

(LEAD) Gonna shout it a little louder now!

(CHOIR) Shout His name!

(LEAD) My chains are gone! I've been set free!

(CHOIR) Hallelujah!

(LEAD) Forgiven and redeemed for all eternity!

(CHOIR) Amen! Amen!

(LEAD) I'm gonna dance on this old dusty floor

'Cause the ghost that used to haunt me don't live here anymore!
