I couldn't help but wonder what he was thinking

As he stared out the window through the sky

It seemed he was taking his last look at freedom

From the hopeless, longing look in his eyes

There were chains on his hands and chains on his feet

And as I passes him by the thought came to me





Remember your chains

Remember the prison that one help you

Before the love of God broke through

Remember the place you were without grace

When you see where you are now

Remember your chains

And remember your chains are gone





There's no one more thankful to sit at the table

Than the one who best remembers hunger's pain

And no heart loves greater than the one that is able

To recall the time when all it knew was the shame

The wings of forgiveness can take us to heights never seen

But the wisest ones, they will never lose sight of where they were set free

Love set them free





So remember your chains

Remember the prison that one help you

Before the love of God broke through

Remember the place you were without grace

When you see where you are now

Remember your chains

And remember your chains are gone





And in the light of all that we've been forgiven of

We will find our hearts fuller and freer

To give and receive God's love





So remember your chains

Remember the prison that one help you

Before the love of God broke through

Remember the place you were without grace

When you see where you are now

Remember your chains

Oh, remember your chains

When you remember your chains

Remember your chains are gone

Imagine what your life would be

If Jesus had not set you free

Remember your chains are gone

Remember
