Lyrics
Verse 1
If you've been walking in the same old road from miles and miles
If you've been hearing the same old voice tell the same old lies
If you're trying to fill the same old holes inside
There's a better life, there is a better life
Chorus
If you got pain, He is a pain taker
If you feel lost, He is a way maker
If you need freedom or saving, He is a prison shaking Savior
If you got chains, He is a chain breaker
Verse 2
We've all searched for the light of day in the dead of night
We've all found ourselves worn out for the same old fight
We've all run for the things we know just ain't right
There's a better life, there's a better life
Chorus
If you got pain, He is a pain taker
If you feel lost, He is a way maker
If you need freedom or saving, He is a prison shaking Savior
If you got chains, He is a chain breaker
Bridge
If you believe it, you receive it
If you can feel it, somebody testify
If you believe it , you receive it, you wanna receive it
If you can feel it, somebody testify, testify
If you believe it, if you receive it
If you can feel it, somebody testify, testify
If you believe it, you believe it, you receive it
If you can feel it, somebody testify, testify
Chorus
If you got pain, He is a pain taker
If you feel lost, He is a way maker
If you need freedom or saving, He is a prison shaking Savior
If you got chains, He is a chain breaker
Oh chain breaker

Meaning & Inspiration
Chains Breaker invites anyone weary, lost or bound to look to Jesus. The opening verse addresses people walking the same old road, hearing the same old lies and trying to fill the same old holes, with the promise of a better life. The chorus names Him as pain taker, way maker, prison-shaking Savior and chain breaker.
The second verse speaks of shared experience, searching for light in the dead of night, being worn out for the same old fight, and again finding a better life. A middle section calls for testimony and belief that receives, and the ending repeats chain breaker. The imagery follows Psalm 107:13-14 on chains broken, Acts 16:25-26 on prison doors opened, Isaiah 61:1 on freedom for captives and Isaiah 43:19 on a way made. Direct and repetitive, the song is a clear invitation and testimony in one.
