I don't have to cry anymore 

I don't have to worry about what's in store 

I've walked that road exhausted and poor 

I don't have to cry anymore 



And I don't have to know it all 

I don't have to be so proud and stand so tall 

I climbed that mountain only to fall 

I don't have to know it all 



You did that for me 

Oh, you did that for me 

You wore the chains so I could be free 

Yeah, yeah 

You did that for me 



And I don't have to be ashamed 

Hang my head or shoulder the blame 

Wondering if my life's been in vain 

I don't have to be ashamed 



Oh, you did that for me 

Oh, you did that for me 

You wore the chains so I could be free 

Yeah, yeah 

You did that for me 



Man of sorrows 

Well acquainted with grief 

Drug down to the city dump 

Spread eagle on a cross beam 

Propped up like a scarecrow 

Nailed like a thief 

There for all the world to see 



You wore the chains so I could be free 

Yeah, yeah 

Oh Lord, you did that for me 

Oh Lord, you did that for me, You wore the chains so I could be free
