Ball and Chain -

You say to me that you are free

Yet you take the apple from the tree,

Your sins won’t cover all your shame

Your freedom is your ball and chain!

I said He died to set you free,

Your sins He nailed upon a tree.

No fame, no shame, your soul to gain

Your freedom is your ball and… Chain!

The Son is rising!

The Son is rising!

Darling, reach back to Him

Before this day is ended.

'Cause pain is deep within you

And shame is in your hands now.

He’s all around you

He’s all around you

Don’t throw your hand.

'Cause time is ever fleeting

And souls in hell are screaming.

Temptation brings you back again,

Your feelings justify your sin,

Your faith to you is just a game,

Your freedom is your ball and chain.

I said He died to set you free,

Your sins He nailed upon a tree.

No fame, no shame, your soul to gain

Your freedom is your ball and…

Darling, reach back to Him

Before this day is ended.

'Cause pain is deep within you

And shame is in your hands now.

He’s all around you

He’s all around you

Don’t throw your hand.

'Cause time is ever fleeting

And souls in hell are screaming.

And on a hillside stands outside of time

A mother holds her lifeless child

Who gives himself on calvary.

And we who live today still curse the Man,

Whose blood was shed for all to see,

And we say we’re free.
