I've been to hell and back, with shackles on my feet
Cold wind blowing on my face,
so harsh I thought
I'd bleed.
I've been to hell and back,
walking along hell's highways.
Satan tried to pull me in at every stop
But God was there to guide me.
I've felt the darkness of midnight skies
Then watched the sun fill up my eyes.
I've felt the sun wash on my back
and felt the storms and rains attack.
I've been so low yet flown so high
I've
flown so high yet felt so low.
But truth shone through and peaked and glowed.
I've watched the flowers bloom in May
and fill my heart like candied refrains.
I've loved so true and felt so high, I came alive.
Then watched it die
before my eyes.
I've felt the thorns of roses pricking at my feet
I've seen it lead my skin to bleed
and rip my
veins and grab my being.
I've felt the blood enwrap my soul
Then fill my heart and overflow.
Then lose control,
and lose control.
My mind locked in a twisted chamber
Time freed my mind, surpassed all danger.
I've cried a river
full of tears
and noone heard and noone cared.
I've watch the tears turn into stones
As rivers washed away my
soul.
I've felt the rivers travel mountains
Through hills and valleys, there I stood frightened.
and tasted sands
of rivers embankments
and there I stood alone and frightened.
I've seen the stars and felt the clouds
and felt
terrential rains come pouring down.
I've felt the tightness around my ankles
and dragged my body down with these here
shackles.
'Til truth came crashing at my door
and there it stood forevermore.
'Til truth came bursting at my door
and filled my heart and every pore.
These shackles can no longer bind
For here they lay, broken, at my side.
Believe
was all it took to free me
and lift me from the deepest hells
and carry me from the hottest, fiery hells.
Yes,
I've been to hell and back
with shackles on my feet.
But truth came shining through,
and set my spirit free.
