Lyrics
Verse 1: Aaron Moses
Wandering into the night
Wanting a place to hide
This weary soul
This bag of bones
And I try with all my might
But I just can't win the fight
I'm slowly drifting
A vagabond
Pre-Chorus: Aaron Moses
And just when I ran out of road
I met a man I didn't know
And He told me that I was not alone
Chorus: Aaron Moses & Dante Bowe
He picked me up, He turned me around
He placed my feet on solid ground
I thank the Master, I thank the Savior
Because He healed my heart, He changed my name
Forever free, I'm not the same
I thank the Master, I thank the Savior
I thank God
Verse 2: Dante Bowe
I cannot deny what I see
Got no choice but to believe
My doubts are burning
Like ashes in the wind
So, so long to my old friends
Burden and bitterness
You can just keep it moving (Hey), hey
Nah, you ain't welcome here
Pre-Chorus: Dante Bowe
From now 'til I walk the streets of gold
I'll sing of how You saved my soul
This wayward son has found his way back home
Chorus: Dante Bowe & Aaron Moses
He picked me up, He turned me around
Placed my feet on solid ground
I thank the Master, I thank the Savior
Because He healed my heart, He changed my name
Forever free, I'm not the same
I thank the Master, I thank the Savior
Oh, I thank God
Post-Chorus: Maryanne J. George
Oh, I thank God
Oh, I thank God
Oh, I thank God
Bridge: Maryanne J. George, Dante Bowe & Aaron Moses
Oh, Hell lost another one, I am free (Oh, yeah)
I am free (Yeah), I am free
Hell lost another one, I am free (I am free)
I am free (Oh, I am free), I am free (Oh, I am free)
Hell lost another one, oh, I am free (Oh)
I am free, yes, I am free (Oh, I've never been so free before)
Hell lost another one, I am free (Oh)
I am free (Oh), I am free (Yes)
Hell lost another one, I am free (Oh)
I am free, oh, I am free (Oh)
Hell lost another one, I am free (Oh)
I am free (Yes), I am free (Hell lost another one)
Hell lost another one, I am free
Oh, I am free, oh, I am free
Oh, Hell lost another one, I am free (Oh)
I am free, oh
Chorus: Dante Bowe, Aaron Moses, & Maryanne J. George
He picked me up, He turned me around
He placed my feet on solid ground
I thank the Master, I thank the Savior
Because He healed my heart, He changed my name
Forever free, I am not the same
I thank the Master, I thank the Savior
I thank God

Meaning & Inspiration
The song traces a movement from exhaustion and hiding to rescue and stability. The opening describes a weary soul, a bag of bones, someone losing a fight and drifting with no place to go. That picture of human brokenness is met by an unexpected encounter: a man who says the speaker was never alone. The chorus turns toward gratitude—being picked up, turned around, and placed on solid ground, language that echoes the psalmist’s cry from the pit. The healing of the heart and the changing of a name point to identity transformed, not just feelings improved. The repeated line about hell losing another one frames salvation as a real defeat of spiritual powers, while the command to get up out of the grave carries resurrection imagery into daily life. The interlude about testimony and prophecy suggests that what God did for one person can happen again for another. The song’s thankfulness is not passive; it is declared, repeated, and sung as a way of stepping into freedom.
