he set me free

Once like a bird in prison I dwelt.
No freedom from my sorrow I felt.
Then Jesus came and listened to me,
And glory to God, He set me free.

CHORUS
He SET me free, yes, He set me free.
He broke the bonds of prison for me.
I’m glory bound my Jesus to see,
For glory to God, He set me free.

Now I am climbing higher each day,
Darkness of night has drifted away.
My feet are planted on higher ground,
And glory to God, I’m homeward bound.

Good-bye to sin and things that confound,
Naught of this world shall turn me around,
Daily I’m working, I’m praying too,
And glory to God, I’m going through.
