I couldn't help but wonder
What he was thinking
As he stared out the window
Through the sky
It seemed he was taking
His last look at freedom
From the hopeless, longing look in his eyes
There were chains on his hands
And chains on his feet
And as I passed him by
The thought came to me...
Remember your chains
Remember the prison that once held you
Before the love of God broke through
Remember the place you were without grace
When you see where you are now
Remember your chains
And remember your chains are gone
There's no one more thankful
To sit at the table
Than the one who best remembers from his pain
And no heart loves greater
Than the one that is able
To recall the time when all it knew was shame
The wings of forgiveness
Can take us to heights we've never seen
But the wisest ones, they will never lose sight
Of where they were set free
[Chorus]
And in the light of all that we've been forgiven of
We will find our heart's full look at freedom
To give and receive God's love
