Lyrics

Freedom Cry

Verse 1

In the chains of the night, in the shadows of fear,
Your spirit moves, and freedom draws near.
Breaking the bonds, tearing the veil,
In Your truth, O Lord, we prevail.

Chorus

Freedom cry, in the Spirit’s breath,
In Your salvation, we find our depth.
From the depths of despair, to the heights of Your love,
In freedom’s cry, we rise above.

Verse 2

In the dungeons of doubt, in the prisons of pain,
Your spirit whispers, breaking every chain.
A song of deliverance, a hymn of release,
In Your loving embrace, we find our peace.

Chorus

Freedom cry, in the Spirit’s breath,
In Your salvation, we find our depth.
From the depths of despair, to the heights of Your love,
In freedom’s cry, we rise above.

Bridge

No longer bound, no longer blind,
In Your freedom, O Lord, we find.
A new dawn, a new day,
In Your spirit, we make our way.

Chorus

Freedom cry, in the Spirit’s breath,
In Your salvation, we find our depth.
From the depths of despair, to the heights of Your love,
In freedom’s cry, we rise above.

Outro

So we lift our voices, in Your truth so bright,
In the freedom cry, we take our flight.
In Your spirit, Lord, forever we’ll try,
In the anthem of freedom, our spirits fly.
