Long did I suffer
bound
in heavy chains

Cruel master, unrelenting
body and mind bent

Burdens impossible
to bear
life without parole

Come sweet death
return me
to dust

Eternity revealed
the King

offering a hand
He lifted me

offering water
He quenched my thirst

offering freedom
He broke my chains

offering life
I gave mine

Bond Servant now
to the Lord Most High

slave for life

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
