[Hook x2]
I was a slave
Sick and depraved
Stuck in my chains
Needed to be saved
Now I'm a son
Because of the One
Who comes to redeem a slave
To make him a son
[Verse 1]
Chained up, smacked up, situation is jacked up
Brain blacked up, I'm a slave to my master
Depraved, blood stains from the crack of the whip
On my back from my sin and my anger is stacked up
My life is a major disaster, trapped in the gates of my pain
And I'm tryna find a way of escape but there's absolutely
No grace from my master, jacked up with sin no Vaseline
And I feel it in my spleen when I act up
Jesus, in fact I need a redeemer
Born in this orphanage every orphan in chains
Subordinate slaves paid with d**h an unfortunate wage
For being more than depraved caught up in strange activity
Til the auction it came I was forced on the stage
But why? Nobody ever bids for me
"Really, you've been redeemed from sin, you're free!"
[Hook x2]
[Verse 2]
I heard this Redeemer came for me and paid the fee
To redeem me from slavery, okay, I'm free
But I keep seeing the strangest thing, and I can't take it
I keep returning to the plantation
Freedom is good and I know I should be amazed
But the thing is I only know how to be a slave
But going back to the slave master
Repeating the same chapter of life
Will only send me to the grave faster
And the Dude that redeemed me is a King
This is insanity, He actually put me in His family
I came from being a slave He made me a son
And gave me His love, my freedom was paid with His blood
I say this because I came from the mud
He brought me to a much better place
And I'm ashamed because it's the chains that I love
Lord, take the sin out of me please
And I need You to teach me how to be free
[Hook x2]
[Verse 3]
I've been given the power to run redeemed and adopted
Now I'm a son which is something
I'm still learning how to become
All of a sudden I'm not a slave anymore
By the grace of the Lord
I became something I've never been before
This is wrong, chilling in a royal palace eating candied apples
In the tabernacle then sneaking back to my shackles
And I know my slave master wanna k** me
Cause I'm in a new family declared not guilty
Though I was filthy I was redeemed and made clean
The King seeks other slaves to do the same thing
King Jesus seeks us to redeem us and frees us
From greed, lust, He's just, His Holy Spirit cleans us
And brings us out of slavery majorly He gifted
And basically paid the fee for redemption
Thank Him it's an invitation I pray you would come
To the One who brought me from a slave to a son
