✝️ Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
You said you needed someone to play
At the old church down on Maple way
But when I got there, what did I see?
Guard towers where the steeple should be
Never thought I'd find my place to be
Behind these walls, just you and me
[Pre-chorus]
And now I see what you had planned
When you put that guitar in my hand
[Chorus]
These chains set us free
(Set us free, oh set us free)
Every note rings true
When they sing along with you
Breaking every wall
Till His grace touches all
These chains set us free
[Post-chorus]
(Free, free, His love makes us free)
[Electric guitar riff]
[Verse 2]
Remember how I shook that first day
When the gates closed and you showed the way
Twenty men with numbered shirts sat down
Eyes on the floor, not making a sound
But when that first chord rang through the air
Something changed in the heavy air
[Chorus]
These chains set us free
(Set us free, oh set us free)
Every note rings true
When they sing along with you
Breaking every wall
Till His grace touches all
These chains set us free
[Bridge - with prisoner vocals]
(I was lost but now I see)
(Your love broke these chains off me)
Nothing's holding back His grace
In this most unlikely place
[Church organ swells]
[Rap - spoken word style]
See I came here thinking I would teach them something new
But they taught me what amazing grace can really do
Every Thursday night we gather, souls align
Finding freedom past these walls, one song at a time
God's love don't care about the choices you made
When mercy meets music, yeah, we all get saved
[Final Chorus]
These chains set us free
(Set us free, oh set us free)
Every note rings true
When they sing along with you
Breaking every wall
Till His grace touches all
These chains set us free
(Free, free, His love makes us free)
