I couldn't help but wonder what he was thinking As he stared out the window through the sky It seemed he was taking his last look at freedom From the hopeless, longing look in his eyes There were chains on his hands and chains on his feet And as I passes him by the thought came to me
Remember the prison that one help you Before the love of God broke through Remember the place you were without grace When you see where you are now And remember your chains are gone
There's no one more thankful to sit at the table Than the one who best remembers hunger's pain And no heart loves greater than the one that is able To recall the time when all it knew was the shame The wings of forgiveness can take us to heights never seen But the wisest ones, they will never lose sight of where they were set free
Remember the prison that one help you Before the love of God broke through Remember the place you were without grace When you see where you are now And remember your chains are gone
And in the light of all that we've been forgiven of We will find our hearts fuller and freer To give and receive God's love
Remember the prison that one help you Before the love of God broke through Remember the place you were without grace When you see where you are now When you remember your chains Remember your chains are gone Imagine what your life would be If Jesus had not set you free Remember your chains are gone Remember all that once help you Before the love of God broke through And remember your chains are gone More from Steven Curtis Chapman
