The King Has Set Me Free
All my life
I'd been a captive to striving
No matter what I tried
I was held hostage to sin
I couldn't win the fight
Despite my best intentions
I'd hit the end of the line
But that's when God entered in
He called out my name
And said so long to those chains
I'm free, I'm free
The King has set me free
He pulled me from my prison
Death lost its claim on me
Yeah, I'm free, I'm free
I'm alive and I believe
Now I'm singing sweet salvation
'Cause the King has set me free
Now an empty grave
Is all that's left behind me
Only amazing grace
Could save a wretch like me
On that rugged cross
That's where heaven won the battle
The curse of death was shattered
Oh, for all eternity
I'm free, I'm free
The King has set me free
He pulled me from my prison
Death lost its claim on me
Yeah, I'm free, I'm free
I'm alive and I believe
Now I'm singing sweet salvation
'Cause the King has set me free
Yeah, I ain't going back
I ain't going back to the old ways
I ain't going back
I ain't going back to the old chains
I'm gonna live
I'm gonna live like I've been changed
I'm gonna live like I've been saved
And wave so long to those old chains
I'm free, I'm free
The King has set me free
He pulled me from my prison
Death lost its claim on me
Yeah, I'm free, I'm free
I'm alive and I believe
Now I'm singing sweet salvation
'Cause the King has set me free
I'm singing sweet salvation
'Cause the King has set me free
Oh, I'm free
I'd been a captive to striving
No matter what I tried
I was held hostage to sin
I couldn't win the fight
Despite my best intentions
I'd hit the end of the line
But that's when God entered in
He called out my name
And said so long to those chains
I'm free, I'm free
The King has set me free
He pulled me from my prison
Death lost its claim on me
Yeah, I'm free, I'm free
I'm alive and I believe
Now I'm singing sweet salvation
'Cause the King has set me free
Now an empty grave
Is all that's left behind me
Only amazing grace
Could save a wretch like me
On that rugged cross
That's where heaven won the battle
The curse of death was shattered
Oh, for all eternity
I'm free, I'm free
The King has set me free
He pulled me from my prison
Death lost its claim on me
Yeah, I'm free, I'm free
I'm alive and I believe
Now I'm singing sweet salvation
'Cause the King has set me free
Yeah, I ain't going back
I ain't going back to the old ways
I ain't going back
I ain't going back to the old chains
I'm gonna live
I'm gonna live like I've been changed
I'm gonna live like I've been saved
And wave so long to those old chains
I'm free, I'm free
The King has set me free
He pulled me from my prison
Death lost its claim on me
Yeah, I'm free, I'm free
I'm alive and I believe
Now I'm singing sweet salvation
'Cause the King has set me free
I'm singing sweet salvation
'Cause the King has set me free
Oh, I'm free
