Free Lyrics


The sun was beating down inside the walls of stone and razor wire
As we made our way across the prison yard
I felt my heart begin to race as we drew nearer to the place
Where they say that death is waiting in the darkThe slamming doors of iron echoed through the halls
Where despair holds life within its cruel clawsBut then I met a man who's face seemed so strangely out of place
A blinding light of hope was shining in his eyes
And with repentance in his voice he told me of his tragic choice
That led him to this place where he must pay the priceBut then his voice grew strong as he began to tell
About the One he said had rescued him from hellHe said I'm free, yeah, oh, I have been forgiven
God's love has taken off my chains and given me these wings
And I'm free, yeah, yeah and the freedom I've been given
Is something that not even death can take away from me
Because I'm free, Jesus set me freeWe said a prayer and said goodbye and tears began to fill my eyes
As I stepped back out into the blinding sun
And even as I drove away I found that I could not escape
The way he spoke of what the grace of God had doneI thought about how sin had sentenced us to die
And how God gave His only Son so you and I could sayI'm free, yeah, oh, I have been forgiven
God's love has taken off my chains and given me these wings

And I'm free, yeah, yeah and the freedom I've been given
Is something that not even death can take away from me
Because I'm freeAnd if the Son has set you free, oh, if the Son has set you free
Then you are free indeed, oh, you are really free
If the Son has set you free, oh, if the Son has set you free
Then you are free, really, really, freeOh, we're free, yeah, oh, we have been forgiven
God's grace has broken every chain and given us these wings
And we're free, yeah, yeah and the freedom we've been given
Is something that not even death can take from you and me
Because we're free, yeah, the freedom we've been given
Is something that not even death can take from you and me
Because we're freeOh, we're free,yeah, yeah
We are free, we are free, yeah, yeah
The Son has set us freeIf the Son has set you free, you are free indeed
If the Son has set you free, you are free indeed
If the Son has set you free, you are free indeed
If the Son has set you free, you are free indeedIf the Son has set you free, you are free indeed
If the Son has set you free, you are free indeed
If the Son has set you free, you are free indeed
We are free
If the Son has set you free, you are free indeedIf the Son has set you free, you are free indeed
If the Son has set you free, you are free indeed
If the Son has set you free, you are free indeed
If the Son has set you free, you are free indeedIf the Son has set you free you are free indeed
If the Son has set you free, you are free indeed
If the Son has set you free, you are free indeed
If the Son has set you free, you are free indeed
If the Son has set you free, you are free indeed
You are free indeed, you are free indeed, free indeed

Steven Curtis Chapman (born November 21, 1962 in Paducah, Kentucky) is one of the most influential singer/songwriters in contemporary Christian music. He was first signed on to a songwriting deal in the early 1980s, based upon the strength of his song "Built To Last" which was recorded by popular gospel group The Imperials. Shortly after, he signed a record deal with Sparrow Records, where he rose to prominence.

He and his wife Mary Beth have three biological children, (Emily Elizabeth, Caleb Stevenson, Will Franklin) and they adopted three Chinese girls (Shaohannah Hope Yan, Stevey Joy Ru, Maria Sue Chapman). They are also recognized advocates for adoption. Together, they founded Shaohannah's Hope, a charity organization which offers grants to qualifying families to help defray the cost of adopting, at home and abroad. Both were awarded the Angels of Adoption award by a Congressional Committee for adoption in Washington, D.C.

Chapman's five-year-old daughter, Maria Sue Chunxi Chapman, was killed in a tragic accident on May 21, 2008.[7] Maria was accidentally hit by her older brother Will, driving a Toyota Land Cruiser pulling into the driveway of their home in Franklin, Tennessee after coming home from a play audition, according to Tennessee Department of Safety spokesman Mike Browning. Maria was pronounced dead upon arrival to the hospital.

The entire family was preparing to celebrate their eldest son Caleb's graduation from high school and their daughter's engagement just hours before the accident. A spokesman for the Tennessee Highway Patrol termed it "a terrible accident," and no charges were filed.

Maria was the youngest in the family, and one of three daughters adopted from China by Steven and his wife, Mary Beth.[8] During the memorial service for Maria, in which Pastor Scotty Smith preached, the family expressed their faith in God and their love for each other.[9][10]

In the aftermath of the tragedy, the Chapman family began to speak publicly about their loss and the role that faith played in it all. They appeared on Good Morning America, Larry King Live and in People magazine.[11][12] Maria was buried in her flower girl dress as she along with Stevie Joy was going to be a Flower Girl in Emily's wedding in October.

The Do Everything Songfacts states that three years later the Christian singer-songwriter released re:creation, a collection of fresh versions of some of his most memorable tunes from the past plus six new songs. The record was an opportunity to communicate that he and his family believe God is recreating many wonderful things in their lives after their tragic loss.

Chapman and his sons recorded under the name of "Stevenson" for the 2003 Veggie Rocks CD. (Song: "I Love My Lips," VeggieTales). Chapman starred in the 2003 film Christmas Child.
