Faith Breaks the Chains
Contemporary gospel song: a mid-tempo chant that builds into a shouting vamp, electric guitars, organ and an R&B rhythm section, with a powerhouse female voice. Fervent and intense, sung in English, about faith breaking the chains that hold people down.
Lyrics
I was walking in the dark aloneHeavy weight was all I ever knownTried to run but couldn't find the wayLeft my spirit in a cold decayThen a light began to pierce the nightGiving power to a losing fightNow the walls are starting to come downI can feel I’m standing on new groundNo more chainsThe spirit set me freeNo more chainsHe won the victoryI’m walking out of every cageTurning to a brand new pageNo more chainsThe spirit set me freeThere’s a comfort in the holy soundLifting every burden to the groundFear can’t tell me who I am no moreI am heading for the open doorEvery mountain has to move asideWith the savior walking by my sideNow the joy is rising in my soulHe is the one who finally made me wholeNo more chainsThe spirit set me freeNo more chainsHe won the victoryI’m walking out of every cageTurning to a brand new pageNo more chainsThe spirit set me freeI believe in what I cannot seeLiving in this holy libertyStronger than the bonds of yesterdayWatch the heavy shackles melt awayHe is able, yes He’s ableSetting every captive freeNo more chainsThe spirit set me freeNo more chainsHe won the victoryI’m walking out of every cageTurning to a brand new pageNo more chainsThe spirit set me free
