One day you passed by me
You saw chains on my hands
I saw with my own eyes
Tears for me in Your eyes

One day I passed by You
I saw my chains on Your hands
I'm free because of You
Then tears filled my eyes

Refrain: 
How much Lord did You pay
To set me free I asked
"My son it is a lot
but not too much for you" x2

One day by me You'll pass
About my freedom You'll ask
Feeling my slavery
Although in You I'm free

My sins have bounded me
Loving the world around me
I seek my place in it
That I am Yours I forget

Refrain: 

Free yet I am Your slave
Yours for all of my days
Your slave and free I'll live
To You myself I give x2

One day you passed by me
You saw chains on my hands
I saw with my own eyes
Tears for me in Your eyes
