Once like a bird in prison I dwelt
No freedom from my sorrow I felt
But Jesus came and listened to me
And, glory to God, He set me free

He set me free, He set me free
He broke the bonds of prison for me
I'm glorybound my Jesus to see
For glory to God, He set me free

On the resurrection morning
When all the dead in Christ shall rise
(I'll have a new body)
Praise the lord, I'll have a new life (eternal)

Sewed in weakness, raised in power
Ready to live in paradise
(I'll have a new body)
Praise the lord, I'll have a new life
