Standing Free

Shackles and chains Weighed me down My heart felt heavy Like it drug the ground My body was weak My spirit was torn Been like that Since I was born I was baptized In the water's tide Spirit free, hands held high Cryin out, a stranger In a strange land Something stirred up Inside me Like Esther when she stood Before the king I knew there were two ways Things could go So I took the road Far less traveled It paid off for me Cus here right now I'm standing free They say time heals wounds They ain't all the same The one needing healing Made me drag my head in shame Devil tried to take Ahold of me Till I said 'Not Today 'Satan get behind me' I was baptized In the water's tide Spirit free, hands held high Cryin out, a stranger In a strange land Something stirred up Inside me Like Esther when she stood Before the king I knew there were two ways Things could go So I took the road Far less traveled It paid off for me Cus here right now I'm standing free Now I sing my testimony As my battle cry What tried to break me Only built me high No, I won't run From the face of my enemy I've been washed By the blood of the lamb Given freely to me By the great I AM I was baptized In the water's tide Spirit free, hands held high Cryin out, a stranger In a strange land Something stirred up Inside me Like Esther when she stood Before the king I knew there were two ways Things could go So I took the road Far less traveled It paid off for me Cus here right now I'm standing free As Earth shakes And chains break I am blessed Oh and I am free I was baptized In the water deep For I am loved I'm made whole God's great mercy Saved my soul I'm made new I've been redeemed Cus I was baptized In the water deep I was baptized In the water's tide Spirit free, hands held high Cryin out, a stranger In a strange land Something stirred up Inside me Like Esther when she stood Before the king I knew there were two ways Things could go So I took the road Far less traveled It paid off for me Cus here right now I'm standing free Oh it paid off for me Cus here right now I'm standing free
