Gaither Vocal Band - Glorious Freedom Lyrics

Once I was bound by sin's galling fetters
Chained like a slave I struggled in vain
But I received thy glorious freedom
When Jesus broke my fetters in twain

[Chorus]
Glorious freedom, wonderful freedom
No more in chains of sin I repine
Jesus the glorious emancipator
Now and forever, He shall be mine

Freedom from all the carnal affections
Freedom from envy, hatred and strife
Freedom from vain and worldly ambitions
Freedom from all that saddened my life

Freedom from pride and all sinful follies
Freedom from love and glitter of gold
Freedom from evil temper and anger
Glorious freedom rapture untold

Freedom from fear with all of its torments
Freedom from care with all of its pain
Freedom in Christ, my blessed Redeemer
He who has rent my fetters in twain
