There’s a wreckage, there’s a fire
There’s a weakness in my love
There’s a hunger I can’t control

Lord, I falter and I fall down
Then I hold on to chains You broke
When You came and saved my soul.

Hallelujah
We are free to struggle
We’re not struggling to be free

Your blood bought and makes us children
Children, drop your chains and sing

So, why Lord, do I still fail,
Do I wear thin?
Why do I still give in to temptation?

On my own, I am bankrupt,
I don’t trust You or take You at Your word
What You’ve promised.

Hallelujah
We are free to struggle
We’re not struggling to be free

Your blood bought and makes us children
Children, drop your chains and sing

 

Hallelujah,
Death is overcome and we are breathing
Hallelujah,
Our stone hearts become flesh that’s beating

Hallelujah,
Chains have been undone and we are singing
Hallelujah,
The fire has begun. Can you feel it?

Hallelujah,
Death is overcome and we are breathing
Hallelujah,
Our stone hearts become flesh that’s beating

Hallelujah,
Chains have been undone and we are singing
Hallelujah,
The fire has begun. Oh, can you feel it?

Hallelujah
We are free to struggle
We’re not struggling to be free

Your blood bought and makes us children
Children, drop your chains and sing!
