Lyrics of This Is How It Feels to Be Free from The Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir's Be Glad Album

 [Verse]
 There is a wall that has been standing
 Since the day that Adam fell
 Sin is where it started
 And Sin is why it held
 Speaking as a prisoner
 Who was there and lived to tell
 I remember how it fell
 I can here the sound of freedom
 Like a distant voice who called
 And beckon me to follow
 Where I had never gone
 And though my heart is willing'
 I just stood there at the wall
 Praying somehow it would fall
 But in a cross I found a doorway
 And a hand that held a key
 And when the chains fell at my feet
 For the first time I could see

 [Chorus]
 This is how it feels to be free
 This is what it means to know that
 I am forgiven
 This is how it feels to be free
 To see that life can be more than I imagined
 This is how it feels to be free
 This is how it feels to be free Yeahhh!

[Verse 2]
 There are days when I'm reminded
 Of the prison I was in
 Like a living nightmare
 Burning deep within
 I can feel the voice of evil
 I can hear the call of sin
 But I wont go back again
 See, once I've tasted freedom
 Then chains could bind no more
 Since mercy gave me wings to fly
 Like an eagle I can soar

[repeat chorus]

 Somewhere there's a prison
 Where the chains still burn
 If not for the grace of god
 Those walls could still be mine
 So far all the captives are saved

 [repeat chorus]
