Break the Chains

[Verse 1]
I've been holding onto wounds
That were never mine to keep
Building walls around my heart
In the silence, in my sleep
I rehearsed the wrong you did
Like a stone I couldn't drop
But the weight has nearly crushed me
And I'm crying out — it stops

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't want to live this way
A prisoner of yesterday
So I'm laying at Your feet
Everything I cannot keep

[Chorus]
Break the chains, break the chains
Every link of bitterness and pain
I release it, I release it
Into hands that bear the nail scars still
What You carried on that hill
Was enough — it is enough
To set me free, to make me whole
Forgiveness finally has my soul
Break the chains, chains no more

[Verse 2]
I have seen what hatred costs
In the mirror, in my eyes
All the joy that slowly faded
All the peace I was denied
But Your cross rewrites the story
Of the debts that I've been owed
You canceled what was owed to You
So I can finally let it go

[Bridge]
I forgive as I've been forgiven
I release what I've been given
No more debt, no more grave
I walk out of what enslaved me
You are freedom, You are grace
I can finally see Your face
Unobstructed, unashamed
I am loved and I am changed

[Chorus]
Break the chains, break the chains
Every link of bitterness and pain
I release it, I release it
Into hands that bear the nail scars still
What You carried on that hill
Was enough — it is enough
To set me free, to make me whole
Forgiveness finally has my soul
Break the chains, chains no more

[Outro]
It is finished — You declared it
Every wound — You already bore it
I am free, I am free
I am finally free
