Reflection of Glory

My prior home was a sin-locked prison.
I was set free because Jesus is risen.
Saved from the depths in an instant,
Redeemed in a flash with my consent.
A gift for me to accept, receive in full,
To be cleansed, white as lamb's wool;
Released to pursue His flawless plan,
Finishing the work He cast and began.
To journey with Jesus, my decision,
A change in passion, a new vision.
Free to spread His word to all lands,
Making followers to be Jesus' hands.
This is my desire--my life-long mission--
Following the Spirit, it's my ambition.
Living out this new life I've received,
Growing in Christ, no longer deceived.

Life quakes, ground shakes, shackles break,
The chains are off, now I am free.
I was in prison, but Jesus heard my plea.
Now I am free and I run the race
Through time and space.
I am covered by His grace.

I am consumed by unmerited grace,
Righteousness, now the proof in my case.
Freedom to dance, freedom to praise,
Prepared to bless the Lord all of my days.
Filled by the Holy Spirit, in His presence,
The power of His perfect love is intense.
Of all my strength, He's the only source;
Through my veins, my Jesus is the force.
Flooded by mercy, overcome by love,
Redeemed, adopted by the Lord above.
I was locked up, the key thrown away;
That was changed--Jesus came to stay.
I am free, shackles have been broken.
Chains destroyed by His words spoken.
Free from prison, ready to run the race,
Pressing on, I am covered by His grace.

Life quakes, ground shakes, shackles break,
The chains are off, now I am free.
I was in prison, but Jesus heard my plea.
Now I am free and I run the race
Through time and space.
I am covered by His grace.

Arrows of the enemy soar through the air
Trying to consume me with fear and despair.
Shooting in the night to catch me off guard,
Hoping to leave me broken down and scarred.

Yet in the midst of it all I will trust in the Lord,
Enduring the storm to obtain my eternal reward.
He is the rock solid foundation on which I stand;
I'm safe and secure in His righteous right hand.

When the enemy attacks to make me crumble,
I shout, “Devil, you better be ready to rumble.”
There is great power with Jesus by my side;
In His Mighty Name you will run and hide.

Purchased with the blood of God's precious Son,
I'm clean, no matter what you tell me I've done.
So get out, good-bye, I'm sure I'll see you later,
Even then there'll be one with me who is greater.
