So long I've had searched for life's meaning
Enslaved by this world and its greed.
But then the door of my prison was opened by love
For the ransom was paid, I was freed.
I'm free from the fear of tomorrow
I'm free from the guilt of the past.
For I traded my shackles for a glorious song
I'm free, praise the Lord, free at last.

I am free from the guilt that I carried
From this dull and empty life I'm set free.
For when I met Jesus, He made me complete
He forgot the foolish man I used to be.
I'm free from the fear of tomorrow
I'm free from the guilt of the past.
Oh, I traded my shackles for a glorious song
I'm free, praise the Lord, free at last.
