Sonnie Badu's song 'Free' is a worship anthem celebrating the freedom believers have through Jesus Christ's sacrifice. The lyrics reflect on how Christ's stripes bring healing, His blood removes sin and guilt, and the cross carries away burdens, shame, and pain. The chorus declares freedom to live again, rise again, and worship. The song draws directly from the biblical concept of atonement and the believer's liberation from sin's power. It is a declaration of personal and communal victory over sin and shame, emphasizing the finished work of Christ on the cross.

By your stripes I know that I am healed 

By your crown of thorns now I am free

Oh Lamb of God 

You did that just for me


Now your blood has set me free from sin

Your blood has set me free from guilt 

Oh Lamb of God you did that just for me 


I can see my burdens taken to the cross

I can see my shame taken to the cross

When you were dying for me 


I can see my sins taken to the cross 

I can see my shame taken to the cross

When you were dying for me


CHORUS

So I am free, to live again

I am free to rise again

So I am free, to lift my hands

I am free, I am free to live today


I can see my burdens taken to the cross

I can see my pain taken to the cross

When you were dying for me


I can see my sins taken to the cross 

I can see my shame taken to the cross

When you were dying for me
