You have buried my sin
In the depths of the sea
Carried my guilt far away
As far as the East is from the West
You’ve removed my
Transgressions from me
So I’ll tell of Your mercy
Sing of Your grace
Walk in Your liberty
And I’ll live in the awesome light of Your love
‘˜Cause I know that I am free
‘˜Cause I know that I am free
(Repeat 3 times)
I am free, I am free
I am free, I am free
I am free
‘˜Cause I know that I am free
‘˜Cause I know that I am free
