Chains are broken, ’cause You have spoken
It is finished on the cross
Now I’m living in Your freedom
Jesus You have set me free
By the power of Your Spirit
Every captive is released
For this purpose, I am living
Jesus You have set me free
Nothing’s going to hold me back
Nothing’s going to keep me down
Jesus has set me free, I’m free indeed
I will give You praise
With everything I am I’ll praise
Whatever may come my way
You have won the victory, You set me free
I’m surrounded by Your goodness
I am covered by Your grace
My heart is grateful, forever thankful
Jesus You have set me free
I will give You praise
With everything I am I’ll praise
Whatever may come my way
You have won the victory
I will give You praise
With everything I am I’ll praise
Whatever may come my way
You have won the victory, You set me free
We are free, we are free
And we have the victory
(repeat 3x)
