Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Chains are broken, cause you have spoken
It is finished on the cross
Now I'm living in Your freedom
Jesus You have set me free

By the power of Your Spirit
Every captive is released
For this purpose, I am living

Jesus You have set me free

Nothingʼs going to hold me back
Nothingʼs going to keep me down
Jesus has set me free, Iʻm free indeed

I will give You praise
With everything I am Iʼll praise
Whatever may come my way
You have won the victory, You set me free

Iʼm surrounded by Your goodness
I am covered by Your grace
My heart is grateful, forever thankful
Jesus You have set me free

Nothingʼs going to hold me back
Nothingʼs going to keep me down
Jesus has set me free, Iʻm free indeed

I will give You praise
With everything I am Iʼll praise
Whatever may come my way
You have won the victory

I will give You praise
With everything I am Iʼll praise
Whatever may come my way
You have won the victory, You set me free

We are free, We are free
And we have the victory
We are free, We are free
And we have the victory
We are free, We are free
And we have the victory
We are free, We are free
And we have the victory

I will give You praise
With everything I am Iʼll praise
Whatever may come my way
You have won the victory

I will give You praise
With everything I am Iʼll praise

Whatever may come my way
You have won the victory, You set me free
