Anthony Brown's 'Free' featuring Crystal Rucker is a powerful declaration of spiritual freedom and deliverance. The song emphasizes that believers are no longer defined by past guilt or shame because of Jesus' sacrifice on the cross. It celebrates the truth that those set free by Christ are truly free, and it encourages listeners to refuse returning to old ways. The lyrics convey a strong sense of victory and gratitude, with repeated affirmations of not going back to former bondage. The song is uplifting and serves as a reminder of the transformative power of salvation and God's redemptive love.

You don't have permission to call me
By a name that He never gave me
I will no longer answer, to things
That He washed away with His blood
There is no condemnation, to them
Who are in His family
When Jesus died way back on Calvary
Said He took those things
That were guilt, away from me
Whom the Son sets free
Is free indeed
So praise the Lord
Hallelujah, I'm free
I'm free
You don't have permission, come on
(You don't have permission to call me)
By a name (by a name that He never gave me
I will no longer answer)
I will no longer answer (to things
That He washed away with His blood
There is no condemnation) there is no condemnation
(To them, who are in His family)
When Jesus died (when Jesus died way back on Calvary)
(He took the shame) He took the shame
(And the guilt, away from me
Whom the Son sets free, oh oh) whom the Son sets free
(Is free indeed, free, free indeed
So praise the Lord) praise the Lord
(Hallelujah) yeah
(I'm free, wha ooh, whaa ooh)
Said I'm free (wha ooh, whaa ooh)
(No, I)
Said I (won't go back)
I'm not gonna go back (no, I won't, have to go back)
Said no (no I, won't go back) I won't go back
(No, I won't, have to go back) to the things I used to do
(No I, won't go back) I don't do no more
(No, I won't, have to go back) no, I

To the things that I used to do (won't go back)
I don't do no more (no)
No (no)
(I won't go back) I won't go
(No, I won't, have to go back) I made a vowel to the Lord
(No I, won't go back) And I won't take it back
(No, I won't, have to go back) No, no
No no no (won't go back)
I can't go back (won't go back)
Because He saved me (won't go back)
He delivered me (won't go back)
He brought me (won't go back)
From a mighty long way (won't go back)
