[C#] _ There's a wall that has been standing [F#] since the day that Adam [C#] fell.
[F#] Sin is where it started, sin is why [C#] it held.
Speaking as [F#] a prisoner [C#] who was there and lived to tell,
I remember how [F#] it felt.
[B] _ [F#] _ _ [C#] I can [F#] hear the sound of freedom like a [C#] distant voice it called
and beckoned me to follow [F#] where I had never [C#] gone.
Though my [F#] heart was willing, I just stood there [C#] at the wall
[F#] praying somehow it would [D#m] fall.
[F#] _ _
[A#m] But in the cross I found a doorway and a [F#] hand that held the key.
[A#m] When the chain fell at [G#] my feet [F#] for the first time I could see.
[B] _ _
_ _ [C#] This is how it feels to be [A#m] free.
_ [C#] This is what it [F#] means to [C#] know that I [Fm] am forgiven.
[C#] This is how it feels to be [A#m] free.
To [F#] see that I can be more than I [G#] am now.
[C#] This is [B] how it feels to be free.
_ This is [C#] how it _ [B] feels to [F#] be [C#] free.
_ There _ [B] _ _
[F#] _ _ _ are days when I'm reminded of the prison I [C#] was in.
Like a living [B] nightmare _ [F#] [C#] burning deep within.
I can feel the voice [F#] of evil, I can [C#] hear the call of sin,
[F#] but I won't go back _ [B] again.
[F#] _
[A#m] You see, once I came to freedom [F#] and the chains could bind no [A#m] more.
Mercy gave me wings to fly [F#] and like an eagle I can [B] soar.
_ _ [C#] This is how it feels to be [A#m] free.
This is [F#] what it means to know that [C#] I [G#] am [C#] forgiven.
This is how it [A#m] feels to be free.
[C#] To [F#] see that I can be more than I [G#] am now.
[A#m] This is [B] how it feels to be free.
_ This is [C#] how it [B] feels to [F#] be free.
[C#] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
[F#] [C#] Now listen.
_ _ [E] Somewhere in the prison [F#] where the chains still [E] bind.
Well, but for the grace of God [F#] the lock could still be.
_ [E] So for all the god in [B] my soul.
_ [C#] _ _ [D#] This is how it [Cm] feels to be free.
_ This is [G#] what it means to know [D#] that I _
[A#] _ _ [D#] _ _ am forgiven.
[Cm] _ _ This is how it feels to be free.
To [G#] see that I can be [D#] more than I am [A#] now.
[F] This is [C#] how it feels to be free.
[F#] _ [G#] _
[F#] [A#m] This is [D#] how it _ feels to be [Cm] free.
_ This is [G#] what it means to know that [A#] I am [D#] forgiven.
_ _ To be [Cm] free. _
[D#] To [G#] see that I can be more than I [A#] am now.
_ This is [C#] how it feels to be free.
_ _ [A#m] This is [D#] how it feels [C#] to [G#] be free.
[D#] _ _ _ _ [C#] Yes [G#] Lord.
[D#] _ This is how it [C#] feels to [G#] be free.
[D#] _ _
Thank [C#] you Lord.
