Verse 1 Rome held the roads and the weight of the law Priests held the doors with a cold iron awe Cast out a man and his name turned to dust Living like shadows for breaking their trust Pre-Chorus Fear was the chain that kept hearts in line Till a voice cut through saying, “You are Mine” Chorus He said the truth would set you free Not their rules carved in stone you see From every outcast, every scar He called them close just as they are Not bound by hands that claim control But freedom written on the soul If the Son made you free, you were free indeed Verse 2 They asked, “Who are You?” with fire in their eyes He spoke of the Father they would not recognize Lift up the Son and then you would know Every word He spoke was the truth they opposed Pre-Chorus They claimed their bloodline, their holy name But He saw the chains they would not name Chorus He said the truth would set you free Not their rules carved in stone you see From every outcast, every scar He called them close just as they are Not bound by hands that claim control But freedom written on the soul If the Son made you free, you were free indeed Bridge Pedal steel cried as the silence revealed Love broke the weight no law ever healed Final Chorus He said the truth had set us free And broke the grip they held on me Every burden, every scar He drew us in from where we were No longer bound to fear and shame We walked in grace, we bore His name And when the Son set us free, we were free indeed
