1. There have been forces in my life
that seemed to break my chains,
but ever kept me powerless
to rise above my shame.
For only One can set me free -
there is but one great Name.

2.  Where others saw just nakedness
and filthy mud and shame,
I wallowed in my helplesness
until my Saviour came:
He clothed me in His righteousness;
He understood my pain.

3.  Now in my freedom I rejoice
to live by His command,
and though I long for that sweet day
when at His throne I'll stand,
for now I'll llive to witness to
Salvation's mighty hand!
