The Chain Breaker
Good morning. It is Monday, September 27, 2021.
One of my favorite songs, easily in the top 200 ;0) is Zach Williams’ Chain Breaker. I have sung it before for special music at church because it speaks to me on a very personal level.
If you've been walking the same old road for miles and miles
If you've been hearing the same old voice tell the same old lies
If you're trying to fill the same old holes inside
There's a better life, there's a better life
If you've got pain, He's a pain taker
If you feel lost, He's a way maker
If you need freedom or saving, He's a prison-shaking Savior
If you got chains, He's a chain breaker
We've all searched for the light of day in the dead of night
We've all found ourselves worn out from the same old fight
We've all run to things we know just ain't right
When there's a better life, there's a better life
If you've got pain, He's a pain taker
If you feel lost, He's a way maker
If you need freedom or saving, He's a prison-shaking Savior
If you got chains, He's a chain breaker…
Do you have pain? - Isaiah 53:4 “Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows;…”
Do you feel lost? - Ezekiel 34:16 “I will seek the lost, and I will bring back the strayed, and I will bind up the injured, and I will strengthen the weak,”
Do you need freedom or saving? - Colossians 1:13-14 “He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son…”
Jesus can help you! “He's a prison-shaking Savior” - Acts 16:26 “and suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken. And immediately all the doors were opened, and everyone's bonds were unfastened.…”
Do you have chains of anger? Addiction? Judgement? unbelief? Jesus can break those chains! – Jesus said in John 8:32-36 “and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”…“Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who practices sin is a slave to sin. The slave does not remain in the house forever; the son remains forever. So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.”
Indeed, if the Son sets you free, you are free!!
