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
