You don't remember me but I know you all to well
I lived inside your legalstic prison cell
Caught in your religious talk, your riles became
A stumbling block and I fell
Too many years I sat behind your bars of doubt
That held the fear and bondage in and joy of freedom out
Till I heard the drums of liberty and grace revealed the key
That left no doubt…so let me out
(Chorus)
You taught me well to cross my T's and dot my I's
What looked so good to men would soon begin my own demise
I worked to keep my record straight but all I learned
Was how to hate my life
I lost my balance on your rope so high and tight
When I fell I saw a knife of condemnation in my eye
Then I felt the blade go back and a
Noose around my neck to hang me high, but you told me a lie
(Chorus)
I live in liberty in light of what I saw
the convenant that Jesus made
God's law was theer to show my need but
He who God sets free is free in deed
