I've been down and out wondering what it all about

So many pressures and the burden seemed too much for me to bear

I tried to fight it, but there were shackles on my hands

Tried to deny it, 'til oppression took command

Turned to the Savior and He opened up my eyes

It caught me by surprise, told me somethin' that was no lie



Chorus:

It's a good time, a good time to be free

It's a good time, time to get free inside

It's a good time, a good time to believe

It's a good time, time to get free inside



Now you're down and out wondering what your life's about

Try to laugh your fears away, so you party everyday

What you are feeling, there ain't nothing new to find

What you don't know is, your life is on the line

Time to discover, there's so much more to this than just the way you live

I know someone with freedom to give



(chorus)



So let your spirit hear, and put your mind behind

There's a freedom that only in Him you'll find

If you heed the call you will have all you need

'Cause who the Son sets free you know is free, free indeed



(chorus)



What do you want to do with your life

Its up to you, you've got to decide

There's freedom here if you want it, just make up your mind

It is a good time



(chorus)
