We're grateful for freedom
We thank You for freedom
Come on, sing it out
I'm shaking off the heaviness
I'm dancing out of my regrets
I'm throwing caution to the wind
No, I am not ashamed to praise like this
Some would say it's foolishness
But I say it's worth the risk
I can't forget what Jesus did
No, I am not ashamed to praise like this
Where are those chains that once held me?
I'm free, I'm free, I'm free, I'm free
My sin is gone, how can it be?
I'm free, I'm free, I'm free, I'm free
And look at what the Lord has done
I'm never going back to the way I was
I'll sing, I'll dance 'cause I believe
I'm free, I'm free, thank God, I'm free (hey)
I found a Friend that never quits
No other love's as good as this
And I don't care what anyone says
I'll never be ashamed to praise like this
Where are those chains that once held me?
I'm free, I'm free, I'm free, I'm free

Look at what the Lord has done
I'm never going back to the way I was
I'll sing, I'll dance 'cause I believe
I'm free, I'm free (thank God, I'm free)
You took the cross and You broke Your body
You shed Your blood, now the sinner can sing
My debt is paid and my record is clean
I couldn't do it, so You did it for me

💡 Song Meaning & Background
"Thank God I’m Free" by Elevation Rhythm is a contemporary worship anthem that celebrates the believer’s liberation through the finished work of Jesus Christ, emphasizing that freedom is found in surrender to God’s grace rather than in worldly achievements. The song’s core message echoes biblical themes from passages such as Galatians 5:1 (“It is for freedom that Christ has set us free”) and Romans 6:22 (“You are no longer slaves to sin”), underscoring that true freedom is spiritual and rooted in the redemptive power of the cross. The track’s uplifting melody and repetitive refrain invite congregants to proclaim their gratitude and renewed identity in Christ, reinforcing the theological conviction that salvation brings both spiritual and emotional liberation.
