Break Every Chain of Yesterday (Congregational Worship)

Verse 1

I was running in circles

Chasing shadows on my own

Heart so heavy it trembled

Felt like hope had left home

Then Your word cut the silence

Like the dawn through the dark

You called my name in the chaos

Laid Your fire in my heart

Chorus

Break every chain of yesterday

Jesus

You’re stronger

You make a way

Where I see walls

You see a door

I’m not a slave to what came before

You took my shame

You took my blame

Now I stand free in Your holy name

Break every chain of yesterday

I rise

I rise in Your grace today

Verse 2

I remember that evening

Tears all over the floor

I had nothing to offer

Still You opened the door

You rewrote my story

With those scars in Your hands

What was broken and wasted

You’re turning into a plan

Chorus

Break every chain of yesterday

Jesus

You’re stronger

You make a way

Where I see walls

You see a door

I’m not a slave to what came before

You took my shame

You took my blame

Now I stand free in Your holy name

Break every chain of yesterday

I rise

I rise in Your grace today

Bridge

I hear the sound

Of captives singing freedom

I see the ground

Where fear has lost its throne (oh-oh)

I lift my hands

Because Your mercy found me

I won’t go back

The past has lost its hold

Chorus

Break every chain of yesterday

Jesus

You’re stronger

You make a way

Where I see walls

You see a door

I’m not a slave to what came before

You took my shame

You took my blame

Now I stand free in Your holy name

Break every chain of yesterday

I rise

I rise in Your grace today
