I was alone and imprisoned within my cell
Because of how I had lived, I had approached the gates of hell
Then your light comes shining through
There's nothing better you could ever do
Release me by the power in your hand

Chorus:
Set Me Free (x2)
Only you can let it be
Set Me Free (x2)

Standing speechless, I was trying hard to figure out
How your love had saved me and taken away my doubt
Then I fall down on my knees
All I can tell you is I want to please
My Lord, My God, My Savior shine on Me

Repeat Chorus

Set me free from my desires
Set me free from my foolish pride
Set me free from all my selfish thoughts and ways

By the power that's within you
Only you can loose the chains
And deliver me to more fulfilling days
Repeat Chorus twice

Set me free (x4)

Free from the shackles of the people that tie me
All the crippling traditions of the past that enslave and then blind me
Lord, set me free to really know my brother
Set us free to love and honor one another
I said I wanna be free enough to openly express my feelings
Gotta be free if we wanna be receiving any healing
Free as a bird to fly away
Free as the sun to greet a brand new day

Free as the stars up in the sky
Free as the future in a baby's eye
Free to see as far as you can see
Free to be as much as you can be
