When He Set Me Free Songtext
von Russ Taff

One day I was walkin′
One day I was talkin'
One day I was livin′ deep in sin
I wouldn't believe it (I wouldn't believe Him)
And I wouldn′t receive it, no (and I wouldn′t receive Him)
No, I never knew I needed (well, I never knew I needed) such a friend

But I started seekin' (I started seeking)
And I started searchin′ (I started searching)
I was lookin' for the Man (looking for that Man) of Galilee
I started praying (I started praying)
Hear my words Jesus (hear these words I′m sayin')
Come on down from glory (come on down from glory) and set me free
Don′t you know

He put a runnin' (runnin' in my feet)
He put a clappin′ (clappin′ in my hands)
He put a shoutin' (shoutin′ in my heart)
He took the doubtin' (doubtin′ from my mind)
My way got brighter (brighter)
Load got lighter (lighter)


I started walkin' (walkin′)
I started talkin' (talkin')
I started singin′ (singin′)
Kept on shoutin' (shoutin′)
God said (God said if we could believe it)
God said (God said that we could receive it)
I said thank You Jesus (I thank You Jesus), thank You Jesus (I thank You Jesus)
Thank You Jesus (I thank You Jesus)
All Lord (oh my Lord)
We shoulda been there (well, you shoulda been there)
When He set me free

Now I am climbin' higher
Jesus is my provider
All my dark night have drifted so far away
I′m on the road to glory
I wanna tell my story
Wanna tell you what He did for me that day

Don't you know He put a runnin′ (runnin' in my feet)
He put a clappin' (clappin′ in my hands)
He put a shoutin′ (shoutin' in my heart)
He took the doubtin′ (doubtin' from my mind)
My way got brighter (brighter)
My load got lighter (lighter)


I started walkin′ (walkin')
I started talkin′ (talkin')
I started singin' (singin′)
Kept on shoutin′ (shoutin')
God said (God said if we could believe it)
Oh, God said (God said that we could receive it)
I said thank You Jesus (I thank You Jesus), thank You Jesus (I thank You Jesus)
Thank You Jesus (I thank You Jesus)
All Lord (oh my Lord)
We shoulda been there (well, you shoulda been there)
(When He set me free) when Jesus set me free

Everybody shoulda been there (well, you shoulda been there)
(When He set me free) the night that Jesus set me free
