Lyrics
Verse 1
I remember asking God
How much longer am I going to have to carry this?
I didn't know how He was going to do it
I just knew I couldn't stay there
And one day, I looked up
And what used to have me
Didn't have me anymore
Jesus, free me.
Verse 2
I know what it feels like
To hurt and never say it
To show up for everybody while quietly falling apart
I know what it feels like
To pray the same prayer over and over
Wondering if God heard you
He heard me.
Pre-Chorus
Every tear, every prayer
Every night I thought I couldn't make it, He was there
And if you're listening right now, He's there with you.
Chorus
He freed me, Jesus freed me
From the things I thought would always have me
He freed me, Jesus freed me
And if He did it for me, He can do it for you
You don't have to carry what Jesus already died for
You don't have to stay where grace came to pull you from
He freed me, and I believe He can free you too.
Verse 3
I had to let go of some things I wanted answers for
Had to stop waiting for apologies that never came
I had to forgive when I didn't feel like forgiving
Had to trust God with pieces of my heart I thought would never heal
But look at me now
I can talk about it without breaking
I can remember it without going back
I can love without losing myself
That's how I know Jesus freed me.
Chorus
He freed me, Jesus freed me
From the things I thought would always have me
He freed me, Jesus freed me
And if He did it for me, He can do it for you
You don't have to carry what Jesus already died for
You don't have to stay where grace came to pull you from
He freed me, and I believe He can free you too.
Bridge
To the one who still cries when nobody's around
Jesus sees you
To the one who keeps saying "I'm okay"
But you know you're tired
Jesus sees you
To the one who thinks you've gone too far
You haven't
To the one who thinks you've been broken too long
Listen to me
I was there too
And Jesus didn't throw me away
He came for me
He held me
He walked me out
And little by little, I became free.
Outro
He freed me, Jesus freed me
What heavy thing doesn't have me anymore?
He freed me, Jesus freed me
And I need somebody to know tonight He can free you too
Your past doesn't own you
Your pain doesn't own you
What they did doesn't own you
What you lost doesn't own you
Jesus still has you.
I'm not singing this because I'm trying to get free
I'm singing this because I remember when I wasn't
And if my testimony can help you hold on
One more night
Hear me, Jesus freed me
And the same Jesus who reached down and found me
Can reach you too
He freed me
He can free you
That's my testimony.
