lyrics

I know it's time
To drive out the demons and heal in His name
Yet they call me a traitor
But I will take the blame
Because I know I did the same
How did we become this

I will rejoice despite these chains
With all I am
The stocks warm my ankles while the moss stains my fingers
And the dripping water entertains me
But to my God I will sing

The jailer came closer and grabbed me by the arm
Put me in the deepest cell
His dirty hands were shaking
Dark walls gathered around
Him and I our freedom taken
You were my only witness
Before you locked the doors
And the dark came in as I sing

I will rejoice despite these chains
With all I am
The stocks warm my ankles while the moss stains my fingers
And the dripping water entertains me
But to my God I will sing

Then the earth was shaken
As the walls were cracking
And the prisoner stepped outside

The people laugh
But we are not disgraced
The city mocks
But we are not dismayed
The children stare
But we are not ashamed
The rulers threaten us
But we are not afraid

In the end when we are called the sons of God
They will stand amazed
