Long did I suffer,
bound hand and foot with heavy chains
Cruel master, unrelenting,
body and mind bent in subjection
Burdens too heavy to bear,
a prisoner with no escape, no hope
Longing for death,
one with the dirt beneath me
Stepping out of eternity,
according to His purposes, the King came
Offering a hand, He lifted me
offering water, He quenched my thirst
offering freedom, He broke my chains
offering life, I freely gave mine
Bond Servant to the Most High King
I am a slave for life
I am a slave by choice
