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

Oh he set me free he set me free

And he broke the bonds of prison for me

I'm glory bound my Jesus to see

For glory to god he set me free

Now I am climbing higher each day

Darkness of night has drifted away

My feet are planted on higher ground

And glory to god I'm homeward bound

Oh he set me free and he set me free

And he broke the bonds of prison for me

I'm glory bound my Jesus to see

For glory to god he set me free

Goodbye to sin and things that confound

Naught of this world shall turn me around

I'm daily working I'm praying too

And glory to god I'm going through

Oh he set me free and he set me free

And he broke the bonds of prison for me

I'm glory bound my Jesus to see

For glory to god he set me free

I'm glory bound my Jesus to see

For glory to god he set me free
