I
ONCE I WAS DOWN IN SIN'S DARK PRISON
NO ONE AROUND COULD LIFT THE BLAME
I HAD NO HOPE NO CAUSE FOR LIVING
THEN JESUS CAME
HE BROKE THE CHAINS
CHORUS
HE BROKE THE CHAINS OF FEAR AND SORROW
HE BROKE THE CHAINS OF FEAR AND SORROW
HE BROKE THE CHAINS OF SIN AND SHAME
HE BROKE THE CHAINS OF SIN AND SHAME
HE WROTE MY NAME WAY UP IN GLORY
HE WROTE MY NAME WAY UP IN GLORY
SINCE JESUS CAME HE BROKE THE CHAINS
SINCE JESUS CAME HE BROKE THE CHAINS
II
IN THE TOMB HE LAY, ONE COLD, DARK PRISON
AND O'RE ALL THE WORLD OLD MAN DEATH BEGAN TO REIGN
THEN MARY CRIED MY LORD HAS RISEN
FROM DEATH HE CAME
HE BROKE THE CHAINS
