Set the Prisoners Free

976 views Jul 23, 2026 updated Verified editorial review

William Murphy's song is a declaration of God's deliverance and faithfulness. It draws from Psalm 146, celebrating how God helps the oppressed, feeds the hungry, sets prisoners free, and gives sight to the blind. The lyrics express personal gratitude for surviving COVID-19, with lines like 'Covid couldn't kill me, I'm still alive.' The repeated refrain 'Set the prisoners free' emphasizes spiritual and physical liberation. The song culminates in a posture of surrender and praise, with 'Hands up' symbolizing both worship and non-resistance to God's work. It's a testimony of God's sustaining power and a commitment to praise Him for life.

Happy is the man who has Your help

Hope is in You oh Lord

Execute justice for the oppressed

Feed my soul

Set the prisoners free

Blinded I see

Lift up your head

He?s watching over you

Stopping devil plans

That?s what He do

The Lord is at work for you

Set the prisoners free

So my soul

Will bless the Lord

While I live

I?ll praise Him

Covid couldn?t kill me

I?ll still alive

And I can breathe again

Set the prisoners free

So my soul

Will bless the Lord

While I live

I?ll praise Him

Covid couldn?t kill me

I?ll still alive

And I can breathe again

Set the prisoners free

Hands up

Hands up (So I can breathe)

I?m not resisting

Hands up (So I can breathe)

I?m not resisting

I will give You the praise

Hands up (So I can breathe)

I?m not resisting

I will give You the praise

Hands up (So I can breathe)

I?m not resisting

I will give You the praise

For the rest of my days

I will give You the praise

Hands up

I will give You the praise

For the rest of my days

Hands up

I will give You the praise

For the rest of my days

Hands up

I will give You the praise

For the rest of my days

Hands up

I will give You the praise

For the rest of my days
