Break the Chains

[Intro] [distorted kick build Chopped vocal: “break… break… break…”] [Verse 1] I was stuck on replay Same scene Same shame Same fight Holding ghosts like trophies Losing sleep in broad daylight Every scar kept talking Every failure wrote my name I was dancing with the damage Calling every shackle “safe” [Pre-Chorus] But You cut through my chaos (hey!) Like a sunrise through the smoke Every lie I lived by Started cracking when You spoke [Chorus] Break the chains I feel ’em falling Falling Heart awake To the sound of Your calling In Your name All the dead things start to breathe I’m not who I used to be You gave me new life New life in me Break the chains I’m stepping out I’m done with running Hope again My future wide My fear is nothing In Your grace Every prison turns to sea You split it and You carry me You gave me new life New life in me [Verse 2] I remember that moment Floor shaking Tears on my face When the weight I’d been dragging Hit the ground and slipped away All the labels All the shadows Lost power when You came close Trade my panic for Your promise Trade my ruin for Your glow [Pre-Chorus] Now the past can’t own me (oh!) You rewrote my every line Every failure Every fracture Becomes fuel for me to rise [Chorus] Break the chains I feel ’em falling Falling Heart awake To the sound of Your calling In Your name All the dead things start to breathe I’m not who I used to be You gave me new life New life in me Break the chains I’m stepping out I’m done with running Hope again My future wide My fear is nothing In Your grace Every prison turns to sea You split it and You carry me You gave me new life New life in me [Bridge] [beat drops to pads Low pulse] I am not my past I am not my worst day I am loved I am chosen I am free in Jesus I walk in the light I walk in forgiveness The grave is behind me Your Spirit is within me This is my new life [Final Chorus] Break the chains I hear a million voices Hearts awake Every valley finds a chorus In Your name Every captive starts to sing We’re not who we used to be You gave us new life New life We’re free Break the chains From the ashes We are rising Hope again Every heartbeat testifying By Your grace Every story you redeem Forever we will shout Your peace You gave us new life New life We’re free (yeah!)
