|
Sister mildred, we're gonna play free at last |
|
Free at last, thank god almighty |
|
Free at last, free at last |
|
I thank god i'm free at last |
|
Free at last, free at last |
|
I thank god i'm free at last |
|
[have you heard?] |
|
[listen carefully] |
|
[i can't stop] |
|
(chorus 1) |
|
Free, free, i'm free at last |
|
Thank god almighty i'm free at last |
|
Free, free, i'm free at last |
|
Thank god almighty i'm free |
|
(chorus 2) |
|
Cause i'm free, free at last |
|
And i'm free, from my past, and i'm free |
|
Free from sin, and i'm free |
|
And i ain't going back again |
|
Shackles had me down but he gave me a new sound |
|
So reclaim my name from the lost and found |
|
Ya see, something's got me jumpin' |
|
And i think it's the way |
|
That he can take a hard man |
|
And turn him into soft clay |
|
Out of the darkness, the father has sparked this |
|
The spirit's alive while the flesh is a carcass |
|
If you're seriously curious about my past |
|
Well i once was lost but i'm free at last! |
|
(repeat choruses 1 and 2) |
|
Oppression was in session and my life was the term |
|
But when i heard about the word i was willing to learn |
|
About a flavor i could savor and a brighter tomorrow |
|
Cause this could never be endeavored by a wish on a star |
|
The father first receives us, the truth then frees us |
|
Forgiven, now i'm living like a man full of jesus |
|
It was hell until i fell upon my knees and prayed |
|
But now the yoke that i was totin' has been taken away |
|
(repeat chorus 1) |
|
Cause i'm free, free at last, free |
|
From my past, free from sin, and i'm free |
|
And down on my knees when my life passed me by |
|
And i ain't, no i ain't going back again |
|
F r to the e e |
|
L a to the s t |
|
Out of the darkness, the father has sparked this |
|
The spirit's alive while the flesh is a carcass |
|
If you're seriously curious about my past |
|
Well i was once lost but i'm free at last |
|
I'm here to tell you what he did for me and |
|
I'm here to tell you that he set me free and |
|
I know that he can do the same for you, too |
|
He did it, i'm wit it, so come and get it |
|
Be free at last! |
|
(repeat chorus 1 x2) |
|
When all of god's children: black men and white men, |
|
Jews and gentiles, protestants and catholics |
|
Will be able to join hands and |
|
Sing in the words of the old negro spiritual... |
|
(repeat chorus 1) |
|
Cause i'm free, free at last, cause i'm free |
|
I'm free, i'm free, i'm free, i'm free, i'm free |
|
Down on my knees when my life passed me by |
|
And i ain't, no i ain't going back again |
|
Thank god i'm free |
|
Free at last, free at last |
|
Thank god almighty we are free at last! |
