Just because you become a Christian, doesn’t mean you suddenly do everything you should all the time. The human nature is flawed and a Christian needs help from God – daily – to keep on the right track. This song is about that daily request, made of God, to “set me free”.

I want you to know right now -
I’m really in need.
Take control o father,
Set me free.

I’m not the way I should be -
Set me free.
Set me free o father,
Set me free.

Cos I want to give,
I want to live my life serving you.
So make me free for you,
From the sin I still can’t seem to get through.
So I’ll wait for you in the shadows,
Take my blinding sin from me,
Then I’ll see.
How I long to be free.

So break the chains o father,
Set me free.
Change my nature I pray o father,
Won’t you please?

Steal distractions away o father,
Then I’ll be free.
Evil will flee o father,
It’s how I want it to be.

Cos I want to give,
I want to live my life serving you.
So make me free for you,
From the sin I just can’t seem to get through.
So I’ll wait for you in the shadows,
Take my blinding sin from me,
Then I’ll see.
How long will it be?
Set me free.
