Standing Free
Shackles and chains
Weighed me down
My heart felt heavy
Like it drug the ground
My body was weak
My spirit was torn
Been like that
Since I was born
I was baptized
In the water's tide
Spirit free, hands held high
Cryin out, a stranger
In a strange land
Something stirred up
Inside me
Like Esther when she stood
Before the king
I knew there were two ways
Things could go
So I took the road
Far less traveled
It paid off for me
Cus here right now
I'm standing free
They say time heals wounds
They ain't all the same
The one needing healing
Made me drag my head in shame
Devil tried to take
Ahold of me
Till I said 'Not Today
'Satan get behind me'
I was baptized
In the water's tide
Spirit free, hands held high
Cryin out, a stranger
In a strange land
Something stirred up
Inside me
Like Esther when she stood
Before the king
I knew there were two ways
Things could go
So I took the road
Far less traveled
It paid off for me
Cus here right now
I'm standing free
Now I sing my testimony
As my battle cry
What tried to break me
Only built me high
No, I won't run
From the face of my enemy
I've been washed
By the blood of the lamb
Given freely to me
By the great I AM
I was baptized
In the water's tide
Spirit free, hands held high
Cryin out, a stranger
In a strange land
Something stirred up
Inside me
Like Esther when she stood
Before the king
I knew there were two ways
Things could go
So I took the road
Far less traveled
It paid off for me
Cus here right now
I'm standing free
As Earth shakes
And chains break
I am blessed
Oh and I am free
I was baptized
In the water deep
For I am loved
I'm made whole
God's great mercy
Saved my soul
I'm made new
I've been redeemed
Cus I was baptized
In the water deep
I was baptized
In the water's tide
Spirit free, hands held high
Cryin out, a stranger
In a strange land
Something stirred up
Inside me
Like Esther when she stood
Before the king
I knew there were two ways
Things could go
So I took the road
Far less traveled
It paid off for me
Cus here right now
I'm standing free
Oh it paid off for me
Cus here right now
I'm standing free
Weighed me down
My heart felt heavy
Like it drug the ground
My body was weak
My spirit was torn
Been like that
Since I was born
I was baptized
In the water's tide
Spirit free, hands held high
Cryin out, a stranger
In a strange land
Something stirred up
Inside me
Like Esther when she stood
Before the king
I knew there were two ways
Things could go
So I took the road
Far less traveled
It paid off for me
Cus here right now

I'm standing free
Oh it paid off for me
Cus here right now
I'm standing free
