[Verse] We cried out loud why do You not see Why do You turn from our humble decree We bow our heads but our hearts still stray This fast of ours feels like a masquerade [Chorus] Break the chains of the ones who are bound Let justice and mercy be all around Share your bread with the hungry in need This is the fast that sets the soul free [Verse 2] You strike with fists while you say you refrain Your rituals hollow they cause more pain Is this the worship You’re pleading for A shallow silence behind closed doors [Bridge] Loose the cords of oppression so tight Set the burdened free into the light Bring the poor and lost into your care Clothe the naked with love where none was there [Chorus] Break the chains of the ones who are bound Let justice and mercy be all around Share your bread with the hungry in need This is the fast that sets the soul free [Verse 3] Let hearts be pure let motives align Seek holy ways bound by design Go heal the broken lift up the weak In acts of love that's where He speaks
