Emancipation Letter

What was evil moved away from me
And what condemned me, Jesus put an end to
It weighed on the shoulders
Of an innocent the sin that was mine
It was on the cross, yes on the cross
It was dissipated through Jesus

All my mistakes remained
Crucified there on the cross
And the shame that stamped on me
And the impure cloak that covered my being
For so long kept me away from God
It was torn on the cross through the blood of Jesus

The shackles were broken
The chains, the handcuffs too
The eternal prison that awaited me
Was undone, destroyed there
I am free

It was on the cross
That Jesus bought
Every mistake that was mine, Jesus paid
It was on the cross, that Jesus carried
The emancipation letter and set me free
I am free, free, free

The shackles were broken
The chains, the handcuffs too
The eternal prison that awaited me
Was undone, destroyed there
I am free

It was on the cross
That Jesus bought
Every mistake that was mine, Jesus paid
It was on the cross, that Jesus carried
The emancipation letter and set me free
It was on the cross
That Jesus bought
Every mistake that was mine Jesus paid
It was on the cross that Jesus carried
The emancipation letter and set me free
I am free, free, free
It was on the cross
That Jesus bought
Every mistake that was mine Jesus paid
It was on the cross that Jesus carried
The emancipation letter and set me free
I am free, free, free
I am free

The shackles were broken
The chains, the handcuffs too
The eternal prison that awaited me
Was undone, destroyed there
I am free

It was on the cross
That Jesus bought
Every mistake that was mine, Jesus paid
It was on the cross, that Jesus carried
The emancipation letter and set me free
I am free, free, free

The shackles were broken
The chains, the handcuffs too
The eternal prison that awaited me
Was undone, destroyed there
I am free
