Austin French's 'Freedom Hymn' is a contemporary Christian song about finding true freedom and identity in Christ. The lyrics describe a personal struggle of trying to live independently, only to realize that genuine freedom comes from surrendering to God. The song celebrates the transformative power of forgiveness, with imagery of chains breaking and a heart changing. It echoes the biblical truth that those the Son sets free are free indeed, emphasizing a new life and a refusal to look back at the past. The upbeat, anthem-like style makes it a declaration of praise and gratitude for salvation.

I push, I pull
Go back and forth finding myself pounding on a locked door
I try to make it out alone without your help
But I know I'll never win this war
I can never be, never be, free without you
I can never be, never be, me without you
This is the sound of chains breaking
This is the beat of a heart changing
This is a song of a soul forgiven
This is my freedom hymn
This is my freedom hymn, my freedom hymn
This is my freedom hymn, my freedom hymn
I breathe the air of freedom in knowing my life
Is better off in Your hands
The past is gone, what's done is done
Now I'm alive
And I'm never gonna look back
I can never be, never be, free without you
I can never be, never be, me without you
This is the sound of chains breaking
This is the beat of a heart changing
This is a song of a soul forgiven
This is my freedom hymn
This is my freedom hymn, my freedom hymn
This is my freedom hymn, my freedom hymn
Who the Son sets (free)
Is free indeed
Who the Son sets
Is free indeed
Who the Son sets
Is free
I'm free, oh
This is the sound of chains breaking
This is the beat of a heart changing
This is a song of a soul forgiven, oh
This is the sound of chains breaking
This is the beat of a heart changing
This is a song of a soul forgiven
This is my freedom hymn
This is my freedom hymn (my freedom hymn), my freedom hymn (my freedom hymn)
This is my freedom hymn, my freedom hymn, ooh
