If you hadn't shown, shown Your love toward me
Broke the chains, the chains that were binding me
Gave me liberty, set me free

The lyrics to the Indiana Bible College Choir Chorale and PRAISE's song "Set Me Free" are a celebration of the transformative power of God's love. The first verse speaks of the singer's uncertainty and struggles before encountering God's love. It is clear that without God's intervention, the singer's life would look very different. The second verse describes a moment of feeling trapped by past mistakes and guilt. However, the singer found freedom and a new identity in surrendering their life to God.
The chorus of the song emphasizes that true freedom comes from being set free by the Son (Jesus), and that the experience of liberty is transformative. The repetition of the phrase "whom the Son sets free is truly free indeed" highlights the idea that this type of freedom is unparalleled.
Overall, the song is a powerful testimony to the transformative power of faith and the ability of God's love to set us free from emotional and spiritual chains.
