THEN FREEDOM CAME!

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!
