All my life I'd been a captive to striving No matter what I tried I was held hostage to sin I couldn't win the fight Despite my best intentions I'd hit the end of the line But that's when God entered in He called out my name And said so long to those chains I'm free, I'm free The King has set me free He pulled me from my prison Death lost its claim on me Yeah, I'm free, I'm free I'm alive and I believe Now I'm singing sweet salvation 'Cause the King has set me free Now an empty grave Is all that's left behind me Only amazing grace Could save a wretch like me On that rugged cross That's where heaven won the battle The curse of death was shattered Oh, for all eternity I'm free, I'm free The King has set me free He pulled me from my prison Death lost its claim on me Yeah, I'm free, I'm free I'm alive and I believe Now I'm singing sweet salvation 'Cause the King has set me free Yeah, I ain't going back I ain't going back to the old ways I ain't going back I ain't going back to the old chains I'm gonna live I'm gonna live like I've been changed I'm gonna live like I've been saved And wave so long to those old chains I'm free, I'm free The King has set me free He pulled me from my prison Death lost its claim on me Yeah, I'm free, I'm free I'm alive and I believe Now I'm singing sweet salvation 'Cause the King has set me free I'm singing sweet salvation 'Cause the King has set me free Oh, I'm free
