Wandering into the night
Wanting a place to hide
This weary soul, this bag of bones
And I tried with all my mind
And I just can't win the fight
I'm slowly drifting, oh vagabond
And just when I ran out of road
I met a man I didn't know
And He told me
That I was not alone
He picked me up
He turned me around
He placed my feet on solid ground
I thank the Master
I thank the Savior
Because He healed my heart
He changed my name
Forever free, I'm not the same
I thank the Master
I thank the Savior
I thank God
I cannot deny what I see
Got no choice but to believe
My doubts are burning
Like ashes in the wind
So, so long to my old friends
Burden and bitter night
You can't just keep them moving
No, you ain't welcome here
From now 'til I walk
The streets of gold
I'll sing of how You saved my soul
This wayward son
Has found his way back home
He picked me up
He turned me around
He placed my feet on solid ground
I thank the Master
I thank the Savior
Because He healed my heart
He changed my name
Forever free, I'm not the same
I thank the Master
I thank the Savior
I thank God
I thank God
I thank God
Hell lost another one
I am free, I am free, I am free
Sing it out
Hell lost another one
I am free, I am free, I am free
Hell lost another one
I am free, I am free, I am free
Hell lost another one
I am free, I am free, I am free
Sing it like you mean it!
Hell lost another one
I am free, I am free, I am free
Hell lost another one
I am free, I am free, I am free
Hell lost another one
Hell lost another one
I am free, I am free, I am free
Hell lost another one
I am free, I am free, I am free
Because He picked me up
He turned me around
He placed my feet on solid ground
I thank the Master
I thank the Savior
Because He healed my heart
He changed my name
Forever free, I'm not the same
I thank the Master
I thank the Savior
I thank God
I thank God
Only because of You, Jesus
Only because of You, Jesus
Only because of You, I'm free
Get up, get up, get up
Get up out of that grave
Get up, get up, get up
Get up out of that grave
Get up, get up, get up
Get up out of that grave
Get up, get up, get up
Get up out of that grave
Get up, get up, get up
Get up out of that grave
Get up, get up, get up
Get up out of that grave
Get up, get up, get up
Get up out of that grave
Get up, get up, get up
Get up out of that grave
Get up, get up, get up
Get up out of that grave
No longer bound
No longer bound
Get up, get up, get up
Get up out of that grave
Get up, get up, get up
Get up out of that grave
Get up, get up, get up
Get up out of that grave
Because He picked me up
He turned me around
He placed my feet on solid ground
I thank the Master
I thank the Savior
Because He healed my heart
He changed my name
Forever free, I'm not the same
I thank the Master
I thank the Savior
I thank God
I thank God
I thank God
One more time
Because You picked me up
You turned me around
You placed my feet on solid ground
I thank the Master
I thank the Savior
Because He healed my heart
He changed my name
Forever free, I'm not the same
I thank the Master
I thank the Savior
I thank God
Hallelujah
We thank You, Lord
