In sin's dark prison I was bound, Dismay and darkness all around; But now my record book is clear, I'm free from ev'ry haunting fear; His love has burst my prison chains, And set me free from all my shame, I go about and gladly shout, His love has burst my prison chains. I'm happy to be called His own, He burst my stubborn heart of stone; And while He gives me voice to praise, I'll tell it all my earthly days; His love has burst my prison chains, And set me free from all my shame, I go about and gladly shout, His love has burst my prison chains.
