[C#m] [E] Freedom Hymn is [B] that song for me that I need to hear [F#] over and over [C#m] again to really believe
that I am [F#] free and I'm free indeed.
[B] The story behind this [F#] song actually goes back a ways to [C#m] when I was a kid growing up in church
[G#m] and I sang hymns every [B] Sunday as a minister's kid and one day I asked the pastor, [C#m] man why
do we sing these old songs and these old hymns every [B] week?
He said, Austin, sometimes we need a song, we [C#m] need a hymn to say the words our heart
wants to say [B] but our words fail to.
And that stuck with me forever and I knew one day I would [G#m] always want to write a hymn
for the church.
[B] And so growing up in church I began to lead in church and serve in church and I became
a [G#m] worship pastor at a couple churches [B] in Georgia and then God [C#m] moved me and my family
[E] to Delray Beach, Florida which was the [B] recovery capital of the world [F#] and that changed everything [C#m] for us.
What we learned from the recovery community was that it was [B] raw and it was real and you
[F#] had to be okay with [C#m] not being okay because in [E] that spot is where they met Jesus.
[B] So I wanted to write a [F#] song not just for the recovery community [C#m] in Delray Beach, Florida
[C#] but the recovery community [A#] worldwide which is the church [F#] because we're all recovering
from something [E] and we all have a song to sing.
If we have been [G#m] set free by Jesus, scripture says in John 8, 36, for whoever the Son sets
free is free indeed.
And that [A] means we have a [B] song to sing, we have a hymn to sing, we [G#m] know what the sound
of chains breaking in our life sounds like and we [B] have a song of a soul forgiven.
And so I wanted to write [D#] a song for the church and for people all around the world to be
able to [G#m] say, hey, I'm free, [D#m] I'm free [G#m] indeed, this is my freedom [E] hymn.
