lyrics

I've heard "iron sharpens iron"
But the only metal that I see
Are these wrought-iron shackles
Dragging my burdens down with me

I've heard of hope that comes in seasons
But the only change that I see
Cold winds blowing, never ceasing
Dead trees losing all their leaves

Can I leave this on my own?

And you said, "Shake off your shackles, I made you to be free"
"Shake off your shackles, come running home to Me"

I've heard grace is a gift
Life upside down, made right again
You run magnificent and wild
Every time I let you in

You've given me strength like a stone

And you said, "Shake of your shackles, I made you to be free"
"Shake of your shackles, come running home to Me"

You've given me a sword
Delighted me with a song
Tenderness in your heart
Puts steel in my spine

You've given me a sword
Delighted me with a song
Tenderness in your heart
Jesus

And you said, "Shake of your shackles, I made you to be free"
"You don't have to do anything, it's My victory"
