When The Shackles Fell Away
By George Thurlow
Never will I ever
Forget that blessed day When my soul was liberated And the shackles fell away. Out of pain and darkness, Into His marvelous light, He reached down and touched me, And I received my sight. From dreariness, despondency, Depression and despair, The Gentle Shepherd rescued me And showed me that He cared. Then a flame began to flicker Deep within my heart; I had desire to live again... Hope became the spark. A strange warmness filled this vessel That once was icy cold; I felt a sense of belonging, A part of the Master's fold. Soon I was making melodies From somewhere deep within... Singing praises to my Savior Who set me free from sin. I was bursting with new energy, Excited now to live... Full of love and gratitude Just wanting to give and give. Oh never will I ever Forget that blessed day, When my burdens were lifted And the shackles fell away.
"If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed."
John 8:36 |
