Shackles

MARY MARY

(spoken)



(whoo!

It sure is hot out here

Ya know?

I don't mind, though.

Just glad to be free.

Know what I'm saying, uh!)



Take the shackles off my feet so I can dance

I just wanna praise you

(what'cha wanna do? )

I just wanna praise you

(yeah, yeah)

You broke the chains now I can lift my hands

(uh feel me? )

And I'm gonna praise you

(what'cha gondo? )

I'm gonna praise you



In the corners of my mind

I just can't seem to find a reason to believe

That I can break free

Cause you see I have been down for so long

Feel like all hope is gone

But as I lift my hands, I understand

That I should praise you through my circumstance



Take the shackles off my feet so I can dance

I just wanna praise you

I just wanna praise you

You broke the chains now I can lift my hands

And I'm gonna praise you

I'm gonna praise you



Everything that could go wrong

All went wrong at one time

So much pressure fell on me

I thought I was gonlose my mind

But I know you wanna see

If I will hold on through these trials

But I need you to lift this load

Cause I can't take it no more



Take the shackles off my feet so I can dance

I just wanna praise you

I just wanna praise you

You broke the chains now I can lift my hands

And I'm gonna praise you

I'm gonna praise you



Been through the fire and the rain

Bound in every kind of way

But God has broken every chain

So let me go right now



Take the shackles off my feet so I can dance

I just wanna praise you

I just wanna praise you

You broke the chains now I can lift my hands

And I'm gonna praise you

I'm gonna praise you

(repeat x3)



Take them off

What'cha gonna do, yeah



Take the shackles off my feet so I can dance

I just wanna praise you

I just wanna praise you

You broke the chains now I can lift my hands

And I'm gonna praise you

I'm gonna praise you
