Then I was a prisoner of confidence
I could do anything on my own
So I built solitary burdens in a barren cell
Like so much stone
Left me all alone

Then I was condemned to strive
I could do anything given time
Stumbling in the race not really alive
Long hard climb
And it's all mine

But now there is mercy
At the blood-stained tree
There is forgiveness
Now we are free

Then I was drowned in debts
I could do nothing to pay
Tongue-lashed and beaten down by the collector's threats
"You'll be mine someday "
Nothing I could say, but

Now there is mercy
At the blood-stained tree
There is forgiveness
Now we are free

Then there was a solitary burden-bearing Man
Condemned to climb my hill
Answering my accuser as no one can
Laying down His body
My death to kill, so that

Now there is mercy
At the blood-stained tree
There is forgiveness
Now we are free
Now we are free
