My Journey to God

God Break the Chains That Bind Me

God break the chains that bind me
     Keeping me from being close to you
Chains such as greed and envy
     Links such as self-ego and pride
Chain-like links of bigotry and hatred
     Of prejudgment and superiority
God break the chains that bind me.

God break the chains that bind me
     Set me free from unwarranted bondage
Let me be free in the ecstasy of your love
     Unchain me so that I can begin my journey
Free my legs from the shackles of sin
     Allow my legs to move in unison with your Son
Do not let the chain of doubt hinder my journey
God break the chains that bind me.

God break the chains that bind me
     Break the chain of self-indulgence
Let selfishness not bind and immobilize me
     Break the bondage to unrestrained speech
Let isolation and indifference break apart
     Break the chain link of materialism
Allow not the weight of chains to restrain me
     Free me so that I can convey your word
Free to evangelize anywhere and everywhere
God break the chains that bind me.
