Shana Wilson Williams - I Am Free Lyrics
Lyrics
I'm an over comer by the blood
By the blood I overcome
I am fearless God is with me
He's given me the victory
[x2]
I am healed, I am free
No more chains are holding me
Father has come, it is done
I am free, I am free
...
You are the healer
You are the healer
Who's healing me
Who's healing me
[x2]
You are Jehovah
You are Jehovah
We give you praise
We give you praise
[x2]
There's no one like you
There's no one like you
We give you praise
We give you praise
[x2]
You always come through
You always come through
We give you praise
We give you praise
[x2]
I am healed, I am free
No more chains are holding me
Father has come, it is done
I am free, I am free

Meaning & Inspiration
Shana Wilson Williams’ impactful declaration, "I Am Free," released on July 27, 2018, as part of her album *Everlasting*, stands as a profound testament to the liberating power found in faith. From its opening strains, the song moves beyond a mere musical piece to become a spoken word of affirmation, drawing listeners into a shared space of spiritual conviction and triumph. It bypasses any trivialities, directly confronting the common struggles of doubt, fear, and bondage, and replaces them with a resounding declaration of divine intervention and personal victory.
The very essence of "I Am Free" is rooted in a deeply personal yet universally applicable spiritual journey—the transformation from captivity to freedom through Christ. The narrative begins with a bold assertion, "I’m an over comer by the blood," immediately referencing Revelation 12:11, which speaks of overcoming by the blood of the Lamb and the word of testimony. This foundational truth establishes that any victory claimed is not by human strength but by the sacrificial work of Jesus. The subsequent line, "I am fearless God is with me," echoes the comforting promises found in Isaiah 41:10, where God reassures His people not to fear because He is their ever-present help. This fearless posture is a direct result of understanding that He has already "given me the victory," a truth echoed in 1 Corinthians 15:57, which celebrates God’s gift of triumph through Jesus Christ. The repetition of this powerful declaration reinforces its truth, embedding it deeply within the spirit of the one singing or hearing.
The chorus serves as the song's powerful epicenter, where the core message of liberation truly blossoms: "I am healed, I am free, No more chains are holding me." This vivid imagery of broken chains directly connects with Galatians 5:1, where Paul implores believers to stand firm in the freedom for which Christ has set them free, not to be entangled again in a yoke of slavery. The freedom here is comprehensive, encompassing not just spiritual liberation from sin but also emotional and physical healing, a promise woven throughout Scripture, as seen in passages like Psalm 103:2-3, which speaks of God forgiving sins and healing diseases. The triumphant pronouncement, "Father has come, it is done," powerfully references Jesus' final words on the cross in John 19:30, "It is finished." This signifies the completed work of salvation, redemption, and healing, emphasizing that the victory has already been secured, making the declaration of freedom a present reality rather than a future hope.
The bridge section of the song shifts from a personal declaration to an communal act of worship, elevating God for His attributes. Praises like "You are the healer," draw directly from Exodus 15:26, where God identifies Himself as "the Lord who heals you," confirming His unchanging character as a source of restoration. Naming Him "Jehovah" acknowledges His eternal, self-existent nature and His covenant faithfulness, a name revered throughout the Old Testament as the mighty God of Israel. The worship then extols His uniqueness, stating, "There's no one like you," a truth proclaimed often in Scripture, such as in Isaiah 40:25, which challenges anyone to compare themselves to the Holy One. Finally, the reaffirmation, "You always come through," underlines God's unwavering reliability and faithfulness, a promise found in countless Bible stories and passages like Lamentations 3:22-23, which speaks of His mercies being new every morning. This sustained act of worship serves to fortify the believer's faith, reminding them of the unshakeable foundation upon which their freedom stands.
"I Am Free" is more than just a song; it's a spiritual weapon, designed to empower believers to speak truth over their circumstances. It skillfully weaves together core biblical principles of redemption, healing, and victory, presenting them in an accessible and stirring format. The song doesn't just describe freedom; it invokes it, encouraging those who connect with it to step into their God-given identity as overcomers. Its message is a powerful reminder that through the finished work of Christ, the chains of the past are broken, and a new reality of healing and liberty is available for all who embrace it, serving as a beacon of hope and an anthem of spiritual emancipation.
