[Verse] He walked into the synagogue calm as the sea Eyes turned upon him what message will it be Opened the scroll read Isaiah bold and free Today this is fulfilled now turn to god and see [Chorus] He came to break the chains to set the captives free To give sight to the blind and turn sorrow into glee Proclaim the Lord's favor for all to believe The Spirit is upon him in whom we shall cleave [Verse] At first they marveled who is this man we know But soon old doubts and whispers began to grow Isn't this Joseph's son just a man we all know Who does he think he is what seed does he sow [Chorus] He came to break the chains to set the captives free To give sight to the blind and make the broken see Proclaim the Lord's favor for all to believe The Spirit is upon him in whom we shall cleave [Bridge] No prophet is accepted in his hometown he said Their hearts grew hardened their anger quickly spread Took him to the edge but he passed right through instead Truth cannot be silenced no matter where it's led [Chorus] He came to break the chains to set the captives free To give sight to the blind and turn sorrow into glee Proclaim the Lord's favor for all to believe The Spirit is upon him in whom we shall cleave
