BREAKING CHAINS

I haven't had time to hardly be involved around here much these days (I've been out of the country for a bit, but now I'm back in the states) but still want to contribute something occasionally! It's much different than my usual fare. The title is borrowed from an earlier offering I put up a couple of years ago and the music/melody is from an even later offering. This is a co-write once again with Ron Helm. It's what I would class as mountain folk as attested to by some of the realtracks used! The band carried almost all the load on this one and I'm not complaining! I will be trying to catch up and comment on what everyone else is posting over the next few days! Thanks to all of you who give it a moment to listen! I appreciate it! T

Breaking Chains

Born to fail you've always heard it
And you heard them say you were no good
You wished someday they'd see how you really felt
Somehow you knew they never would
Oh, the things in life that lead to ruin
That keep you buried in your past
How it takes your peace of mind and never lets you find
A love that will forever last
Ooh you need something to hold onto
Ooh take a look it's right in front of you

There's someone who can feel your heartache
And He'll take away your pain
He's the one you know who'll never leave you
Don't you know He's breaking chains

It's time to face a new day dawning
And turn your eyes toward the Son
Forget where you have been, it's time to live again
Through Him your battle has been won
Ooh there's a promise you can hold onto
Ooh given by the one who'll stand by you

Tell Him, Lord come and take my burden
I know your love is never gonna change
And that you're here to heal the broken hearted
Before I was born you knew my name
You're the one who knows my heartache
You're the one who feels my pain
You're the one I know who'll never leave me
You're the one who's breaking chains

Why do you spend your time contemplating
The perpetual state you're in
Why don't you turn around, it's time to lay it down
You know it's not the way to live
Ooh there's a gift that He has given you
Ooh Oh the time has come for your breakthrough

Say, Lord help me with my burden
I know your love is never gonna change
And that you're here to heal the broken hearted
Before I was born you knew my name
You're the one who knows my heartache
You're the one who feels my pain
You're the one I know who'll never leave me
You're the one who's breaking chains
