Verse 1

I was bound to a life in the shadows
Ironbarred dreaming of freedom
For questions and pressures
And setbacks had cuffed my hopes

Verse 2

I remember the moment You found me
Shackled so short of Your glory
You vanquished the clench of my failures
To free my soul

Chorus

Because of You Jesus
There are no more chains on me
Because of You Jesus
I have liberty I have liberty

Verse 3

At the cross I exchanged my condition
Guilty for purely forgiven
I still stand in awe
That Your heavenly rights are mine

Verse 4

For the nails were the keys to a promise
My gravest misdeeds are forgotten
The wide open tomb was Your verdict
I too could rise rise rise

Chorus

Because of You Jesus
There are no more chains on me
Because of You Jesus
I have liberty I have liberty

Bridge

So my free heart
Lifts up Your praise
My free soul
Worships Your name
All I am
Exalts You again and again
And again and again

Bridge

So my free heart
Lifts up Your praise
My free soul
Worships Your name
All I am
Exalts You again and again and again

Chorus

Because of You Jesus
There are no more chains on me
Because of You Jesus
I have liberty I have liberty

Verse 5

And the times I’m surprised
By my old self
Like a free man
Who pines for his jail cell
I won’t lose the message
You left on its walls in blood

Verse 6

The sentence for sin is now over
And follow my footsteps for closure
Let’s walk in the fresh air of freedom
For it is done done done

Chorus

Because of You Jesus
There are no more chains on me
Because of You Jesus
I have liberty I have liberty
