The night was always cold
That I could not withstand
The morning never unfolds
Until I met Jesus who now disband
The shackles and chains from off my hands
The pain would always hold
Me down at his surly command
The rigour shame never could I withhold
Until I met Jesus who now banned
He held me up to my feet so now I stand
The young me now turned old
Cause my oppressors where in great demand
And there was no one to uphold
Until I met Jesus who is firebrand
He took me out and into his band
The suppressors stood at the threshold
And I was made slave in my own land
My family and all my household
Until Jesus came in style so grand
And brought us all out at firsthand
