Lyrics
This ain’t a song about chains
‘Cause my chains are gone
This ain’t a song about the past
‘Cause I’m moving on
No more songs about guilty, with words like regret
Every melody’s sounding like mercy instead
This ain’t a song about chains
No my chains are gone
I found my freedom in You
I found a joy I can’t lose
And thank God it’s true
You wrapped Your arms around me
And Heaven broke through
From the moment You found me
I found my freedom in You
I wanna sing about a Savior
And the price that was paid
I wanna sing about the blood
That washed my sins away
No more songs about broken with words like defeat
Every melody’s sounding like...
I found my freedom in You
I found a joy I can’t lose
And thank God it’s true
You wrapped Your arms around me
And Heaven broke through
From the moment You found me
I found my freedom in You
Found my new name
Found that good grace
Found that healing and the tears fell down my face
When I found my beginning that has no ending
Found that second chance
Found my best friend
Found my forgiveness, Found my happiness
I’ve been singing ever since...

Meaning & Inspiration
“Found My Freedom” frames Christian freedom as a completed rescue rather than a continuing captivity. The opening rejects chains, guilt, regret, and defeat because mercy has changed the singer’s vocabulary. Its chorus locates joy and freedom in Christ, describing divine welcome through the image of embracing arms and heaven breaking into ordinary life. The next verse names the Savior’s sacrifice and cleansing blood as the basis for forgiveness, keeping the celebration tied to redemption rather than self-improvement.
The lyrics closely align with Galatians 5:1, which declares that Christ sets people free, and Ephesians 1:7, which connects redemption and forgiveness with Christ’s blood. The bridge gathers the results into a series of discoveries: grace, healing, a new identity, a second chance, forgiveness, and lasting hope. Repetition turns personal testimony into praise, while the movement from former bondage to a new beginning presents salvation as both release from condemnation and entrance into restored relationship with God.
