One day I was walkin' One day I was talkin' One day I was livin' deep in sin No, I wouldn't believe it I wouldn't receive it No, I never knew I needed such a friend
I started seekin' And I started searchin' Lookin' for that Man of Galilee I started prayin' Hear these words I'm sayin' Come on down from glory and set me free Don't you know
Chorus: He put a runnin' (in my feet) He put a clappin' (in my hands) He put a shoutin' (in my heart) He took the doubtin' (from my mind) The day got brighter (brighter) No, it got lighter (lighter) I started walkin' (walkin') I started talkin' (talkin') I started singin' (singin') Kept on shoutin' (shoutin') God said (if we could believe it) God said (that we could receive it) I said thank You, Jesus Thank You, Jesus Thank You, Jesus All night long Everybody shoulda really oughta been there When He set me free
He set me free He set me free He broke the bonds of prison for me I'm glory bound My Jesus to see And glory to God, He set me free
Now I am climbin' much higher each day Darkness of night has all drifted away My feet are planted on higher ground Glory to God I am homeward bound
