This Is How It Feels To Be Free

VERSE:

There’s a wall that has been standing since the day that Adam fell

Sin is where it started, sin is why it held

Speaking as a pris’ner who was there and lived to tell

I remember how it felt

I can hear the sound of freedom, like a distant voice it called

And beckoned me to follow where I had never gone

Though my heart was willing, I just stood there at the wall

Praying somehow it would fall

But in a cross I found the doorway and the hand that held the keys

When the chains fell at my feet for the first time I could see

CHORUS:

This is how it feels to be free

This is what it means to know that I am forgiven

This is how it feels to be free

To see that life can be more than I imagined

This is how it feels to be free, yeah!

This is how it feels to be free, yeah!

VERSE:

There are days when I’m reminded of the prison I was in

Like a living nightmare burning deep within, I can feel the voice of evil

I can hear the call of sin, but I won’t go back again

See once I tasted freedom and the chains could bind no more

Mercy gave me wings to fly like an eagle I can soar

BRIDGE:

Somewhere there’s a prison where the chains still bind

There but for the grace of God those walls would still be mine

So for all the captives I say
