He Set Me Free

(album: Connie Smith Sings Great Sacred Songs - 1966)

Once like a bird in prison I dwelt
No freedom from my sorrow I felt
But Jesus came and listened to me
And glory to God, He set me free

He set me free, yes, He set me free
And He broke the bonds of prison for me
I'm glory bound my Jesus to see
For glory to God, He set me free

Now I am climbing higher each day
Darkness of night has drifted away
My feet are planted on higher ground
And glory to God, I'm homeward bound

He set me free, yes, He set me free
And He broke the bonds of prison for me
I'm glory bound my Jesus to see
For glory to God, He set me free

Goodbye to sin and things that confound
Naught of the world shall turn me around
Daily I'm working, I'm praying too
And glory to God, I'm going through

He set me free, yes, He set me free
And He broke the bonds of prison for me
I'm glory bound my Jesus to see
For glory to God, He set me free
