The lyrics acknowledge personal failure, temptation, and a lack of trust, yet celebrate the victory of Jesus' sacrifice that breaks chains and brings new life. The song emphasizes that believers are free to struggle, not struggling to be free, because of the blood of Christ that makes them children of God. It points to the transformation from a stone heart to a beating heart and the overcoming of death, inviting listeners to feel the fire of God's work.

Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

There?s a wreckage, there?s a fire

There?s a weakness in my love

There?s a hunger I can?t control

Lord, I falter and I fall down

Then I hold on to the chains You broke

When You came and saved my soul

Save my soul


Hallelujah

We are free to struggle

We?re not struggling to be free

Your blood bought and

Makes us children

Children, drop your chains and sing


So why, Lord, do I still fail

Do I wear thin

Why do I still give in to temptation

On my own, I am bankrupt

I don?t trust You or take You at Your word

What You?ve promised


Hallelujah, death is overcome

And we are breathing

Hallelujah, our stone hearts become

Flesh that?s beating

Hallelujah, chains have been undone

And we are singing

Hallelujah, the fire has begun

Can you feel it
