Shackles (Praise You)
By Warryn Campbell, Erica Atkins and Trecina Atkins
Sung by Maureen Gumbe
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 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 down for so long, feel like all hope is gone But as I lift my hands, I understand
That I should praise you through my circumstance.
Everything that could go wrong all went wrong at one time. So much pressure fell on me I thought I was gon’ 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 anymore.
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.
