Jesus Wears the Sinner's Chains

[Verse] I walk the streets A broken soul Lost in darkness No way to make me whole But then I heard His voice Calling out my name Saying "Come to me Child And I'll ease your pain." [Verse 2] I carried the weight of my sins so deep Bowed my head in sorrow Couldn't find no sleep But in His eyes I saw a love so true Jesus took my burden Made me brand new [Chorus] Jesus wears the sinner's chains He knows our struggle And He feels our pain With arms wide open He calls us near Jesus is the savior Who banishes all fear [Verse 3] In the house of Simon A sinful woman knelt before Jesus And anointed his feet With her tears and perfume [Verse 4] All her sins weighed her down She had too many sleepless nights But when he said Your sins are forgiven The weight disappeared [Chorus] Jesus wears the sinner's chains He knows our struggle And he feels our pain With arms wide open He calls us near Jesus is the saviour Who banishes all fear [Bridge] Crucified on Calvary's cross His head pierced with a crown of thorns Naked for all to see Many revelled in his suffering The soldiers gambled for his garments But despite all the scorn Jesus prayed to his father in Heaven To forgive them all Crucified with him Were two criminals One mockingly told him To save himself But the other rebuked his counterpart Saying Jesus did nothing wrong Then he asked the son of God To remember him Jesus gave him assurance That he would be with him in paradise [Bridge continued] On about the sixth hour Jesus called out and said 'Father, into your hands I commit my spirit' Then death's kiss enveloped all over him But when the women came to his tomb They found it empty For he came back to life [Chorus] Jesus broke the sinner's chains And defeated death itself He truly is the Messiah He took the punishment That we all deserve To give us a chance To be with him in Paradise Let's all choose to accept his gift For he is the only path to salvation [Chorus] [Outro]
