No Longer Chained lyrics

He stepped into the house
And laid his armor on the floor
Hugged his wife and kids and said, "I'm home"
Enduring more today
Than he ever had before
And now, his confidence was gone
You see, a Roman soldier's might
Was based upon his strength of will
He could not imagine any other way
But so defeated by his sense
Of longing he could fill
He said, "Today, I just had to get away"
Then He said..

I was chained to a prisoner
And he gave his testimony
How he was changed therе in a moment
On some lone Damascus Road
But I rеjected what he offered
Said I'll never serve another
I'll just get another soldier
So, I can go on home
No longer chained

The sun rose and he left
To face his duty once again
And chained himself there to the preacher man
He sat down and he wondered
If this day would ever end
To make it through was his only plane
The gentle Voice described
The saving blood upon the cross
And how an empty grave would give him hope
The shackles would remind him
Of the bondage sin had caused
What he couldn't wait to tell when he got home
He said...
I was chained to a prisoner
And he gave his testimony
How he was changed there in a moment
On some lone Damascus Road
But this time, I felt the wonder
In his eyes, I saw the Savior
So, I cried out to the Master
And now my sins are gone
I'm no longer chained

Now, we won't know the number
The Apostle Paul has reached
Until we hear their stories over there
But imagine all the soldiers
That have ever heard him preach
And what they might have gone
On home from work to share
They said...

I was chained to a prisoner
And he gave his testimony
How he was changed there in a moment
On some lone Damascus Road
But this time, I felt the wonder
In his eyes, I saw the Savior
So, I cried out to the Master
And now my sins are gone
I'm no longer chained
No longer chained
I'm no longer chained
