So long I'd searched for life's meaning
Enslaved by the world and my greed
Then the door of my prison was opened by love
And the ransom was paid - I was free

I'm free from the fear of tomorrow
I'm free from the guilt of the past
For I've traded my shackles
For a glorious song
I'm Free, praise the Lord
Free, free at last!

Oh I'm free from all the guilt that I carried
From that dull and empty life, I'm set free
For when I met Jesus, oh He made me complete
He forgot the foolish man I used to be
