Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where my life would be
If you hadn't shown
Shown your love towards me
Broke the chains, the chains
That were binding me
Gave me liberty, set me free
I don't even know
Where my life would be
If you hadn't shown
Shown your love towards me
Broke the chains, the chains
That were binding me
Gave me liberty, set me free
If I hadn't been (yea)
For the Lord who (yea)
Who was on my side
Be lost (yea)
Like a ship (yea)
Without a guide
If I'm sinking (yea)
Said he (yea)
Lifting me, broke the chains
That were binding me
Ooh (whom the son sets free)
Ooh (is truly free indeed), oh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
(That walking in my liberty)
And when I (yea)
I could not last
I was bound by (yea)
The guilt of (yea)
Of my past
But I gave the Lord (yea)
The Lord my life (yea)
And in exchange
He gave me brand new life
I haven't been the same
Ooh (whom the son sets free)
Ooh (is truly free indeed), oh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
(And now I'm walking in
I'm walking in my liberty yea)
Gave me, victory
Now I, I have been set free

Now I, I have been set free
Gave me liberty
Now I, I have been set free
Gave me, victory
Now I, I have been set free
Gave me liberty

Set me free
In "Set Me Free," Myron Butler and Levi sing about their gratitude towards Jesus for freeing them from the chains that once bound them. The song's melody is soulful and upbeat, yet the lyrics carry a weighty message that invites listeners to reflect on their own transformation experiences.
The verses of the song tell of the singer's life before and after encountering Jesus. In the first verse, the repetition of "I don't even know" emphasizes the singer's uncertainty about where their life would be without Jesus. The second verse speaks of feeling lost and without direction until Jesus came into the singer's life. The bridge affirms that the singer is now walking in their liberty and is truly free because of Jesus.
The chorus centers on the phrase "whom the son sets free" which comes from John 8:36 - "So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed." This phrase emphasizes the power of Jesus to free us from any bondage that we may be experiencing. The repeated line "Set me free" serves as a plea and a proclamation towards Jesus.

SET ME FREE- MYRON BUTTLER (Livre enfim)
NΓ£o sei explicar o que Jesus fez por mim
Sem o seu amor eu nΓ£o estaria aqui
Seu sangue me comprou Trazendo vida eterna a mim
Me libertou Jesus, livre enfim
Se nao fosse o Senhor a me guiar
Eu perdido estaria
Neste mundo mal
Impossivel Γ© eu negar seu amor por mim
Me transformou me dando paz sem fim.
Com grande amor por mim
Se entregou ali
Naquela cruz
Meu Jesus
Me tornou livre, livre enfim
VitΓ³ria na Cruz conquistou
Livre sou em Ti
VitΓ³ria na Cruz conquistou
Livre sou enfim
