1.
So long I had searched for life's meaning,
Enslaved by the world and my greed;
Then the door of the prison was opened by love,
For the ransom was paid-- I was free.

Refrain:
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 at last!

2.
I'm free from the guilt that I carried,
From that dull empty life I'm set free;
For when I met Jesus He made me complete--
He forgot how (wicked) I used to be.

3.
I cried, O Lord, how did this happen,
What price did my freedom demand?
Then the Savior came near, and He whispered so low,
"Come look at the prints in my hands."

Refrain:
I'm free from the fear of tomorrow,
I'm free from the guilt of the past;
I'll soon be with Jesus and sing the glad song--
I'm Free! Praise the Lord! Free at last!

4.
Your destiny soon will be certain,
Your debts must be paid with a price;
Jesus said, "I'm the way and the Truth and the Life,"
Believe Him, and have Paradise.
