In the Day That He Broke Off My Chains

I was once without a Savior Without hope, and without life All my nights were full of fearing And my days with pain and strife Then I prayed, and I cried And in love, He answered me I was chained, I was tied But in grace, He set me free I was purchased by my Savior And His servant I became In the day that He broke off my chains ********* I was chained by fleshly feelings Sin just wouldn’t let me free And I knew I couldn’t free myself But who would rescue me? Then He came, rescued me Now I’m free to dance and sing Now my heart’s filled with glee I am cherished by my King So I’m running to my Savior And I’ve never been the same Since the day that He broke off my chains ********* When my life was full of sorrow And the skies were full of rain I forgot about His mercy And complained about my pain Then He came to explain And at last, I understood Blessings come through the rain He is only ever good I was suddenly so joyful Started dancing in the rain In the day that He broke off my chains ********* Still it isn’t always easy Pilgrim trails are often rough But along this trail He’s shown me That His grace will be enough I’ll recall and I’ll tell Of the times He heard my plea When I tripped, when I fell In His grace He lifted me Then my mouth was filled with laughter And my tongue with songs of praise In the day that He broke off my chains
