Chains upon our hands and chains upon our feet
If we give our lives to Jesus, we'll be free when we two meet
We may not have our freedom, but God, you let us know
Man can bind our bodies, but the Lord will let us go.


The world of man surrounds us, from the time that we are born
In our search for consolation, new allegiances are sworn
We worship at the altar of the handiwork of man
And gaudy trinkets blind us to God's eternal plan.

Chains upon our hands and chains upon our feet
If we give our lives to Jesus, we'll be free when we two meet
We may not have our freedom, but God, you let us know
Man can bind our bodies, but the Lord will let us go.

In truth, we are in bondage, though we think that we are free
But nothing that this world can give will ever be the key
Quiet desperation? Yes, that's how life can go
When we turn our eyes from Jesus, and focus on his foe.

Chains upon our hands and chains upon our feet
If we give our lives to Jesus, we'll be free when we two meet
We may not have our freedom, but God, you let us know
Man can bind our bodies, but the Lord will let us go.

God in his compassion, understands our sinful state
And by the blood of Jesus, he opened up a gate
If we accept his promise, and let go of worldly things
We will find eternal freedom, in the Lord our King of Kings.

Chains upon our hands and chains upon our feet
If we give our lives to Jesus, we'll be free when we two meet
We may not have our freedom, but God, you let us know
Man can bind our bodies, but the Lord will let us go.

Oh, I may not have my freedom ... but somehow I don't mind
Cause the promises of Jesus are the only ties that bind.
