So long I've had searched for life's meaning Enslaved by this world and its greed. But then the door of my prison was opened by love For the ransom was paid, I was freed. I'm free from the fear of tomorrow I'm free from the guilt of the past. For I traded my shackles for a glorious song I'm free, praise the Lord, free at last. I am free from the guilt that I carried From this dull and empty life I'm set free. For when I met Jesus, He made me complete He forgot the foolish man I used to be. I'm free from the fear of tomorrow I'm free from the guilt of the past. Oh, I traded my shackles for a glorious song I'm free, praise the Lord, free at last.
