Lyrics
It wasn't very long ago - they couldn't hold me down
With ropes and chains they'd capture me but I would not be bound
The powers of hell tormented me 'til Jesus called my name
And since the day He set me free life hasn't been the same
And it's over - sin no longer has dominion over me
All the chains are broke - the prison doors stand open before me
Now the Light that shines around me makes the night as bright as day
I'm rejoicing in the freedom and the peace that's come to stay
(Lord, I thank-you for Your freedom and Your peace that's come to stay)
I wanted so to follow Him - the One who set me free
To cling to my Deliverer but it was not to be
He sent me back to my hometown as a witness to His grace
"What wonders God has done for you go tell in every place"
It wasn't just His tender touch that humbled me that day
My gratitude for all He'd done was more than I could say
I tell you I'm a different man than what I was before
I found what I'd been missing when I entered through the Door
