So long I had searched for life's meaning Enslaved by the world and my greed Then the door of my prison was opened by love For the ransom was paid – I was free. I'm free from the fear of tomorrow I'm free from the guilt of the past For I've traded my shackles for a glorious song I'm Free! Praise the Lord! Free at last. I'm free from the guilt that I carried From the dull 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 For I've traded my shackles for a glorious song I'm Free! Praise the Lord! Free at last. For I've traded my shackles for a glorious song I'm Free! Praise the Lord! Free at last!
