Since Christ paved the way, dying to the things that bound me, occurs every day
Being weaned and released of what holds me at bay
A lesson comes to show me the way—it starts the process for what bounds me—to decay
Its’ no easy task to flee from captivity—but being free of what bounds me is my reprieve so that my soul can be relieved
I need to look deep inside where the battle of captivity resides and decide that “I” want to be free from the chains of this prison that bounds me
I cry out to the Lord, Lord set me free, from this prison of captivity; break the chains that keep me lame, set my soul free
Lord, unshackle me
Let this battle reign within me no more
Show me what life’s like behind this dungeon door
Let the darkness of the foe no longer censor my soul
Let the beauty of Thy spirit within me unfold
Lord, call me out of captivity
Lift this darkness of despair
I lay before Thee, Lord my countenance bare
