This Is How It Feels To Be Free - The Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir/Charles Allen
There's a wall that has been standing since the day that Adam fell
Sin is where it started and sin is why it held
Speaking as a prisoner who was there and lived to tell
I remember how it fell
I could hear the sound of freedom; like a distant voice it called
And beckoned me to follow where I had never gone
Though my heart was willing  I just stood there at the wall
Praying somehow it would fall
But in a cross I found a doorway and the hand that held the keys
And when the chains fell at my feet  for the first time I could see
This is how it feels to be free
This is what it means to know that I am forgiven
This is how it feels to be free
To see that life can be more than I imagined
This is how it feels to be free  yeah
This is how it feels to be free  yeah
There are days when I'm reminded of the prison I was in
Like a livin' nightmare burning deep within
I can feel the voice of evil  I can hear the call of sin
But I won't go back again
See  once I've tasted freedom and the chains could bind no more
Mercy gave me wings to fly; like an eagle I can soar
This is how it feels to be free
This is what it means to know that I am forgiven
This is how it feels to be free
To see that life can be more than I imagined
This is how it feels to be free  yeah
This is how it feels to be free  yeah
Somewhere there's a prison where the chains still bind
There but for the grace of God those walls could still be mine
So for all the captives I say:
This is how it feels to be free
This is what it means to know that I am forgiven
This is how it feels to be free
To see that life can be more than I imagined
This is how it feels to be free  yeah
This is how it feels to be free
This is what it means to know that I am forgiven
This is how it feels to be free
To see that life can be more than I imagined
This is how it feels to be free  yeah
This is how it feels to be free  yeah
This is how it feels to be free  yeah
This is how it feels to be free
