The Chains Fall Off - Lyrics

Sometimes it takes so much just to take another breath. 

I feel like I’m drifting away and I’ve got nothing left. 

My heart’s been ripped apart so many times 

I’m not sure if it’s even there anymore.


So if you’re out there somewhere, I need some help tonight Because I’m so tired and I’m losing this fight 


Life goes on, but I’m standing still

And words can’t speak that hurt I feel 

My heart’s been ripped apart so many times

I’m not sure if it’s even there anymore,  at all. 


So if you’re out there somewhere, I need some help tonight 

Because I’m so tired and I’m losing this fight.


I’ve got chains around my ankles

 and hands around my neck. 

I’ve been tied up and tortured and stripped of all my worth. 

I’ve been captured by the devil and he’s pulling me from you. 

I’ve been bruised and scarred and broken and I’m going to lose this fight. 


But then you take my place 

You set me free 

You lift my eyes so I can see You as you break my chains, 

You wear my scars, You look at me as You hold out Your arms


And then the chains fall off, You speak my name, 

You lift my head up in the rain, You paid my dues 

You set me free;  I don’t understand how this could be 


And then the chains fall off, You speak my name, 

You lift my head up in the rain, You paid my dues 

You set me free;  I don’t understand how this could be 


Amazing grace, how sweet the sound,

I once was lost but now I’m found. 

You break my chains, now I am Yours 

I don’t belong to that anymore


And then the chains fall off, You speak my name, 

You lift my head up in the rain, You paid my dues 

You set me free;  I don’t understand how this could be 


Amazing grace, how sweet the sound,

I once was lost but now I’m found. 

You break my chains, now I am Yours 

I don’t belong to that anymore
