Break Loose

Sin will hold you back
and keep you enslaved
It will keep you in bondage
and won't let you grow
But there is a way that
you can break free
And that's to let the
Truth break those chains
Oh run to the truth for
your liberation
Don't hold on to sin, that
old stumbling block
Just bow your face to the
God of Love
And be redeemed by His
Almighty grace.

Chain

Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endure the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. For consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, lest you become weary and discouraged in your souls. - Hebrews 12:1-3


Can you see the links of sin I bear
A testimony to my shame
And each day my chain grows
Link upon link

But in my darkness
I see a light
I see a man called Jesus
My savior, king, and forgiver

He steps closer
Exposing my shame
The links I bear
Upon His name

Then I hear His voice cry out to me
He says, "My child, I'll set you free
I'll take away your shame and give you mercy
If you will give Your chain to me"

Lord this grace, this grace
This love, oh this love,
How can it be for one
So wretched as me

Oh my child, don't you know
That my love is a gift
I have given you through my Son
It is done

So come to me and fall
At your knees
Oh my child, let me take
Away your shame

I give it to you oh Lord
Take it away
Father restore me. Father restore me
Oh Lord, thank you for my freedom

For my chain is there no more

CHOSEN (Why'd ya pick me?)

Why does your grace fall down on me?
Oh God, why have you chosen me?
Jesus, my soul rejoices for I know
That I'm in your will.
Your love is amazing
It's awesome to me
Oh God, my God why'd ya pick me?

Of all the ones to chose, you picked me
And of all to send, you sent me
Lord, I'll never understand
Your purpose behind this plan
But I'm grateful and I'm growing in you

God why'd ya pick me?
God why'd you send me?
God what is your will for me?
I see you work around me
And within my life too
But I don't understand
Why'd ya pick me?
