Shackles
by Warryn Campbell, Erica Atkins-Campbell and Trecina Atkins-Campbell

Take the shackles off my feet so I can dance 
I just wanna praise You I just wanna praise You 
You broke the chains now I can lift my hands 
And I'm gonna praise You 
I'm gonna praise, praise you 

In the corners of my mind
I just can't seem to find A reason to believe 
That I can break free 
Cause you see I have been bound for so long 
Felt like all hope was gone 
But as I lift my hands I understand 
That I should praise You through my circumstance

Take the shackles off my feet so I can dance 
I just wanna praise You I just wanna praise You 
You broke the chains now I can lift my hands 
And I'm gonna praise You 
I'm gonna praise, praise you 

Everything that could go wrong 
All went wrong at one time 
See so much pressure fell on me 
I thought I was gonna lose my mind 
Lord I know You wanna see 
If I will hold on through these trials 
But I need You to lift this load 
Cause I can't take it no more

Take the shackles off my feet so I can dance 
I just wanna praise You I just wanna praise You 
You broke the chains now I can lift my hands 
And I'm gonna praise You 
I'm gonna praise, praise you 

Been through the fire and the rain 
Bound in every kind of way 
But God has broken every chain 
So let me go right now

Take the shackles off my feet so I can dance
I just wanna praise You 
I just wanna praise You 
You broke the chains now I can lift my hands 
And I'm gonna praise You 
I'm gonna praise, praise you
