Once I was bound by sin’s galling fetters,
Chained like a slave I struggled in vain;
But I received a glorious freedom,
When Jesus broke my fetters in twain.

Freedom from all the carnal affections,
Freedom from envy, hatred and strife;
Freedom from vain and worldly ambitions.
Freedom from all that saddened my life.

Freedom from pride and all sinful follies,
Freedom from love and glitter of gold;
Freedom from evil temper and anger,
Glorious freedom, rapture untold.

Freedom from fear with all of its torments,
Freedom from care with all of its pain;
Freedom in Christ my blessed Redeemer,
He who has rent my fetters in twain.

The experience I had when I was saved by the Lord, even now I can still experience it whenever I turn from the world and the self to the Lord. Praise Him all my life!

I had this exact experience until some Christians opened up the Scripture to me so I could receive Jesus and be set free. If anyone reading this is a captive of sin, as I was, Jesus can help you!
Hallelujah!

This song touched me so much. Even though I was saved at a young age, I never realized how much saving I need on a day to day, and even moment by moment basis. The Lord Jesus is our wonderful Triune-God Man-Savior, saving us from Satan, the world, and the self. May we learn to live by His life and experience true freedom in Him.
