Once
I stood in grave clothes
Bound
by sin and shame
Then
the voice of Jesus echoed
“Loose
those chains!” then freedom came!
All
at once its grip was broken
Satan’s
power no longer ruled
Sin
had lost its claim upon me
On
redemption’s Rock I stood.
Heaven’s
Light burst all around me
Sin’s
dark shadow hid its face
All
the past was now forgiven
In
the fullness of His grace.
Then
the shouts of victory sounded
Songs
of praise were lifted high
As
the cross of Jesus conquered
Hallelujah’s
filled the sky!
