He Made Me Free Lyrics

I had drifted for so long with my life so full of wrong That the Lord should have turned his back on me But he took the trembling hand of a lost and lonely man Broke the chains from mortal shame and made me free
Yes, he took away the sin from my soul where it had been And he helped my blinding eyes again to see Yes, and now I understand the beauty of salvation's plan Out on the cross you paid the cost and made me free
I had sunk so deep in shame never calling on his name All the joys of life had turned to misery But then he gave me back control of my lost and wandering soul Removed the fears dried my tears and made me free
Yes, he took away the sin that had stained me deep within And he gave me back the fate that I might see Now, I'm so glad I understand the promise of salvation's plan Out on the cross you paid the cost and made me free
