Revised & Expanded Song (Soul / Gospel feel)
(Verse 1)
Oh Lord Jesus Christ, Your Father in Heaven loves me so much
He sent You down to earth, took my place, bore my cross
You died on Calvary, broke the hold of sin and shame
You pulled me from the jail of evil, called my broken name
(soft echo) "Oh yeah" — we sing it again, we praise
(Pre-Chorus)
I was sinking, I was lost, but mercy called my name
A light of grace came shining in, and now I'll never be the same
(Chorus)
Thank You, Father, for Your Son who died for me
On Calvary's cross — You set me free (I'm free)
Thank You, Father, for Your Son who died for me
On Calvary's cross — You set me free (I'm free)
(Verse 2 — Testimony)
I walked in shadow, heart was tired, home was torn apart
But You healed the wounds, You stitched the pieces of my heart
Now I'm resting in the hands of the good and mighty Lord
No more chains around my soul — Your love became my sword
(yes, He sets me free) — Your precious love restored
(Pre-Chorus — call & response)
Leader: I was bound and hopeless
Congregation: But You found me
Leader: I was lost and broken
Congregation: But You made me free
(Chorus — punchier / congregation sings)
Thank You, Father, for Your Son who died for me
On Calvary's cross — You set me free (I'm free)
Thank You, Father, for Your Son who died for me
On Calvary's cross — You set me free (repeat, lift)
(Bridge — testimony & imagery)
From darkness to the morning, from chains into the sky
You opened up a prison door and gave me wings to fly
I was dead inside — You gave me life, You broke my chains
I will shout forevermore: Jesus, You remained the same
(Ad-lib / Vocal Rise)
Oh — the blood that washes white, oh — the love that holds me tight
(I'm free, I'm free) — higher, higher — I lift my hands tonight
(Chorus — key uplift / big finish)
Thank You, Father, for Your Son who died for me
On Calvary's cross — You set me free (lift up now)
Thank You, Father, for Your Son who died for me
On Calvary's cross — You set me free (I'm free, I'm free)
(Outro — reprise & closing testimony)
Oh Lord Jesus Christ, Your Father in Heaven loves me so much
He sent You down to earth — You bore my sin, and You touched
Now I'm singing: free from jail, free from shame and fear
Forever I'll proclaim Your name — forever You are near (fade)
