FREE AT LAST!

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 
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! 
---B. Pent
