Chains
That try to bind me
Chains
That won't let me go
Oh Chains
They keep me from trying
Chains
Please loose your stronghold
Chains
Though I try to surrender
Chains
Yet still I remember
Whom the Son sets free
Is truly free indeed
Lord free me from these chains
Chains
And a heart full of sorrow
Chains
I won't sleep well tonight because of these
Chains
How I long for tomorrow
Cause today
There are no tears left to cry
Chains
Though it feels cold as winter
Chains
I will fight to remember
That by your stripes
I'm healed
To your heart Lord I appeal
Please free me from these chains
Of abuse (Chains)
Of suicide (Chains)
Pain from my past (Chains)
That robbed my peace of mind (Chains)
Chains of divorce (Chains)
Addiction and fear (Oh Chains)
Being afraid to die (Chains)
And afraid to live (Chains)
Chains of depression (Chains)
Haven't laughed in a while (Chains)
Restore my joy (Chains)
And give me back my smile (Ooh Chains)
I do love you Jesus (Chains)
But not like I should (Chains)
I love you forever (Chains)
But not like I could (Chains)
Have mercy on me (Chains)
Can't go on this way (Chains)
Save me I'm lost (Chains)
Help me believe what you say (Chains)
This is just a test (Chains)
Though it's hard to see (Chains)
I surrender your will (Chains)
So now I ask you please
Free me from these
Oh please free me from these
Oh free me from these
I know you can
You said you will
Free me
Jesus
I know you can
Please if you will
Free me
Jesus
I believe you can
I believe you will
Free me
Jesus
So if you can
I pray you will
Free me
Jesus
Please Lord I'm begging you
Free me from
Oh free me from (from these)
Free me from these
Chains (5x)
