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
Through 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!
