Broken Shackles

I looked down at my feet, and saw the shackles lying there,
The ones that had me bound in sin, when I didn’t really care,
They were smashed to pieces, so they could never be put on again,
All because Jesus saved my soul, when I called on Him,
For I was dying day by day, as sin took its awful toll,
I am now guaranteed eternal life, since Jesus controls my soul,
Everything I had thought were promises, turned out to be just lies,
For the devil wants me to go to hell, and would be smiling as I die,
But in my life Satan is defeated, Heaven the future that’s ahead,
And there is nothing I face in my life, that I now have to dread,
I will always be so grateful, for the change my Savior made in me,
Jesus has broken the shackles of my sin, and I am now eternally free.
