I've been wondering on a broken road Bruised and battered, lift a heavy load So much sorrow that I can't let go Bound in my shame hard like a stone And now I find You on this broken way Worn and wounded, 'neath a world of weight So much mercy written on Your face You saw me here and took my place And this is freedom, this is freedom This is freedom, nailed to a tree Now these shackles that have held me down Are unleashed by thorn and crown Sweet forgiveness pouring from your brow Your life for mine, no greater love And this is freedom, this is freedom This is freedom, nailed to a tree And this is freedom, oh blessed freedom This is freedom, You died for me Now from the ashes is beauty raised Out of darkness comes light of day My hands lifted from these broken chains Hallelujah! And this is freedom, this is freedom This is freedom, you rose for me And this is freedom, oh blessed freedom This is freedom for eternity
