All that you ask me is to deny
My will of conceit, Lord, but who am I'
Is there any sin I have not done'
And if there is, I'd surely fall for that one
I know my past, Lord, and I can lie
And tell You I've cast it all to the side
But I don't have the will just to let go
And even if I did I'd do it for show
You saw how I was sunk so deep in death, I know
You drained dry the well of evil in my soul

Now the chains that bound me, the chains that bound me
You've broken off my chains today
You chased the dark clouds away (2x)
Now my chains are off

Now you've lit in me so strong a flame
And you've done it all just for your name
The cunning words of man will not defeat
They'll only serve to fan the fiercer heat
And how I wish that I could make them see
This eternal light that shown in me
But I can't open eyes, that's not my part
But I'll let a loud cry break from my heart
