Free
by: Steven Curtis Chapman
Capo on the 1st fret.

    Bm                              G                            
The sun was beating down inside the walls of stone and razor wire
D                             A
As we made our way across the prision yard
  Bm                             G        
I felt my heart begin to race as we drew nearer to the place
D                                    A
Where they say that death is waiting in the dark
    Em                            Bm
The slamming doors of iron echoed through the halls 
G                                   A
Where despair holds life within its creul claws
    Bm                         G    
But then I met a man whse face seemed so strangely out of place
  D                                  A
A blinding light of hope was shining in his eyes 
    Bm                              G
And with repentance in his voice he told me of his tragic choice
     D                              A
That led him to this place where he must pay the price
    Em                                 Bm   
But then his voice grew strong as he began to tell 
 G                                A
About the one he said had rescued him from Hell, He said

CHORUS
    G     A        Bm
I'm free, yeah, oh I have been forgiven 
      G              A                 Bm 
God's love has taken off my chains and given me these wings
        G     A             Bm       
And I'm free, yeah, and the freedom I've been given 
   G                                 A
Is something that not even death can take away fom me
        Bm          G
Because    I'm free
             D     A
Jesus set me free

Verse 2
We 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 done
I thought about how sin had sentenced us to die
and how God gave His only Son so you and I could say

CHORUS
    G     A        Bm
I'm free, yeah, oh I have been forgiven 
      G              A                 Bm 
God's love has taken off my chains and given me these wings
        G     A             Bm       
And I'm free, yeah, and the freedom I've been given 
   G                                 A
Is something that not even death can take away fom me
            D
Because I'm free

F#sus          F#               F#sus          F#
If the Son has set you free, oh if the Son has set you free
    D
Oh, you are free indeed, oh you are really free
    F#sus          F#                F#sus          F#
Oh, If the Son has set you free, oh, if the Son has set you free,
G                            A
You are free, really, really free

CHORUS
      G     A        Bm
We're free, yeah, oh we have been forgiven 
      G                A               Bm 
God's grace has broken every chain and given us these wings
          G     A             Bm       
And we're free, yeah, and the freedom we've been given 
   G                                 A
Is something that not even death can take away from you and me
              G     A             Bm       
because we're free, yeah, and the freedom we've been given 
   G                                 A
Is something that not even death can take away from you and me
              D
Because we're free
