Lyrics This Is How It Feels to Be Free - The Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir

There is a wall that has been standing
Since the day that Adam fell
Sin is where it started
And sin is why it held
Speaking as a prisoner
Who was there and lived to tell
I remember how it fell

I can here the sound of freedom
Like a distant voice who called
And beckon me to follow
Where I had never gone
And though my heart is willing'
I just stood there at the wall
Praying somehow it would fall

But in a cross I found a doorway
And a hand that held a key
And when the chains fell at my feet
For the first time I could see

This is how it feels to be free
This is what it means to know that
I am forgiven
This is how it feels to be free
To see that life can be more than I imagined
This is how it feels to be free
This is how it feels to be free, yeahhh!

There are days when I'm reminded
Of the prison I was in
Like a living nightmare
Burning deep within
I can feel the voice of evil
I can hear the call of sin
But I won't go back again

See, once I've tasted freedom
Then the walls could bind no more
Since mercy gave me wings to fly
Like an eagle I can soar

This is how it feels to be free
This is what it means to know that
I am forgiven
This is how it feels to be free
To see that life can be more than I imagined
This is how it feels to be free
This is how it feels to be free, yeahhh!

Somewhere there's a prison
Where the chains still burn
If not for the grace of God
Those walls could still be mine
So far all the captives are saved

This is how it feels to be free
This is what it means to know that
I am forgiven
This is how it feels to be free
To see that life can be more than I imagined
This is how it feels to be free

This is how it feels to be free
This is what it means to know that
I am forgiven
This is how it feels to be free
To see that life can be more than I imagined
This is how it feels to be free
This is how it feels to be free, yeahhh!

This is how it feels to be free, yeahhh!
This is how it feels to be free
