TITLE: LOOSEN MY CHAINS by Dave Webb UK By Dave Webb 05/03/04 |
|
For me part of my mission is to show through my poems, my songs, my life the power of the Lord's love for all humanity and to open eyes and ears to the endless possibilities that enrich the lives of those who truly believe.
I hope the following lyrics will give you food for thought and maybe be able to share them with others as part of your daily worship.
LOOSEN MY CHAINS
Open up your eyes
Can't you see the pain
Can't you hear the teardrops
Falling through the rain
The man standing next to you in me
Loosen my chains and set me free
Open up your eyes
Look across the sea
Can't you hear the guns
One day it could be me
The man standing next to you is me
Loosen my chains and set me free
Listen can you hear
The bells so full of fear
Can you hear the cry
That cracks the clear blue sky
The man standing next to you is me
Loosen my chains and set me free
Listen to your heart
Feel the world around
Stretch out your hand to freedom
Throughout the land
The man standing next to you is me
Loosen my chains and set me free
They all close their eyes
They don't want to see
They are all the ones
Who are crucifying me
The man standing next to you is me
Loosen my chains and set me free
Song written as part of a musical entitled 'Second Coming' - 1981
