This Is How It Feels To Be Free
Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir

There is a wall that has been standing 
Since the day that Adam fell 
Sin is where it started 
And Sin is why it held 
Speaking as a prisoner 
Who was there and lived to tell 
I remember how it fell 

I can here the sound of freedom 
Like a distant voice who called 
And beckon me to follow 
Where I had never gone 
And though my heart is willing' 
I just stood there at the wall 
Praying somehow it would fall 

But in a cross I found a doorway 
And a hand that held a key 
And when the chains fell at my feet 
For the first time I could see 

Chorus: 
This is how it feels to be free 
This is what it means to know that 
I am forgiven 
This is how it feels to be free 
To see that life can be more than I imagined 
This is how it feels to be free 
This is how it feels to be free Yeahhh! 

There are days when I'm reminded 
Of the prison I was in 
Like a living nightmare 
Burning from the viel 
I can feel the voice of evil 
I can hear the call of sin 
But I wont go back again 

See, once I've tasted freedom 
Then the walls could bind no more 
Since mercy gave me wings to fly 
Like an eagle I can soar 

repeat chorus 

Somewhere there's a prison 
Where the chains still burn 
If not for the grace of god 
Those walls could still be mine 
So far all the captives are saved
