From the time that you're born-into this world of sin
You start to forge a chain-one link at a time
And before you know it-your soul is weighed down
By the weight of the chain-that binds you body and mind(but)
(But)(yes) He will break the chain of sin-that surely binds you
And He will take the cord of fear-that now confines you
And He will toss them in the sea-for all eternity
Yes He will break the chain of sin and shame-and never remind you
The longer that you wait-the stronger it becomes
The heavier the load-each day you must bear
But Jesus is waiting-with His mighty hands
To break the chain of sin-and the mighty cord of fear (yes)
