Used to be prisoner in a cell The lonely world around me was my jail I was chained to loneliness Locked away from happiness That's the way it used to be But now I'm free Glory hallelujah free at last From the pain and sorrow of the past One sweet day you came along Now the chains and bars are gone I thank the Lord you found the key And set me free One day you found me Shackled there behind Prison was a loneliness To have for me to climb And now I'm free One sweet day you came along Now the chains and bars are gone I thank the Lord you found the key And set me free.
