Cory Asbury - Whom Son Sets Free Lyrics

Whom Son Sets Free is a very short declaration of freedom in Christ. The lyrics state that whom the Son sets free is free indeed, and that there are no chains that can hinder the singer, followed by Hallelujah. The line comes straight from John 8:36, where Jesus says that if the Son sets people free, they are free indeed.

The theme of chains and freedom also fits Galatians 5:1 on standing firm in freedom, Isaiah 61:1 on liberty for captives, and Psalm 107:14 on God breaking chains. With only a few lines and repeated Hallelujahs, the song leaves room for a worship leader and congregation to repeat the declaration and respond in praise. Its tone is confident and celebratory, and the focus stays on the work of Christ rather than on any detail of the singer's story.
