Let Freedom Ring
Gaither Lyrics

Deep within the heart has always known that there was freedom
Inside every human lies an innate understanding that freedom is a right.

Somehow breathed into the very soul of life
Freedom is an intrinsic, inseparable component of life itself.

The prisoner, the powerless, the slave have always known it
Those who have been oppressed and subjugated have a deep, profound sense that they are entitled to freedom.

There's something that keeps reaching for the sky
Humanity's unending quest for self-expression and progress is fueled by a desire for freedom.

And even life begins because a baby fights for freedom
From the moment of birth, humans struggle and strive for independence and autonomy - fundamental components of happiness and fulfillment.

And songs we love to sing have freedom's theme
Throughout history, music has been used as an expression of the human desire for liberty and self-determination.

Some have walked through fire and flood to find a place of freedom
Throughout human history, countless individuals have risked everything to obtain the freedom they so desperately desire.

And some faced hell itself for freedom's dream
The pursuit of freedom has driven men to endure unbearable hardship and suffering.

Let freedom ring wherever minds know what it means to be in chains
Freedom must be proclaimed wherever people are aware of their own enslavement, be it physical or mental.

Let freedom ring wherever hearts know pain
In any place where people experience oppression or injustice, the cause of freedom must be championed and heralded.

Let freedom echo through the lonely streets where prisons have no key
Freedom has the power to penetrate the darkest corners of human existence, even where incarceration and confinement reign.

We can be free and we can sing, let freedom ring
It is only by embracing and heralding the cause of freedom that we can truly live free and fulfill our potential.

God built freedom into every fiber of creation
Freedom is not just a human desire, but a universal principle woven into the very fabric of the cosmos.

And He meant for us to all be free and whole
True freedom is not just an absence of physical chains, but a state of being whole and complete.

When my Lord bought freedom with the blood of His redemption
The ultimate act of liberation was the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ, whose atonement purchased freedom for all mankind.

His cross stamped pardon on my very soul
Through faith in Christ, the chains of spiritual bondage are broken, and one's soul is set free.

I'll sing it out with every breath, I'll let the whole world hear it
The joy and liberation found in faith and freedom must be expressed with exuberance and shared with the entire world.

That iron bars and heavy chains can never hold us captive
The human spirit is ultimately unbreakable, and no physical restraint can permanently extinguish the desire for freedom.

The Son has made us free and free indeed
Christianity heralds the ultimate freedom - spiritual deliverance from the constraints of sin and death.

Let freedom ring down through the ages from a hill called Calvary
The message of freedom embodied in Christ's death and resurrection has echoed throughout history, and will continue to do so for all time.

You can be free and you can sing let freedom ring
Freedom is a universal right, and a cause worth celebrating and fighting for.

You can be free and you can sing let freedom ring
Freedom belongs to all people, and is an ideal that encompasses all aspects of human life.

You can be free and you can sing, let freedom ring, let freedom ring
The message of freedom is one that must be proclaimed with conviction and passion, lest it be lost in the noise of daily life.
