Lyrics:
Verse 1: Lord, we remember the chains of Your friends Suffering for witness to life without end. Christ, Your sorrow brought joy and release So, in their chains, give them peace.
Verse 2: Lord, we remember the chains that now bind Those who are tortured in body and mind. Christ, Your rising gives hope for our plea So, from their chains, set them free.
(Bridge) God, protect and defend the accused. Give them courage when they are abused. Keep them faithful when tragedies fall and Show them Your love most of all.
Verse 3: Lord, we remember the chains that distress. May Your church prosper, though under duress. Christ, Your kingdom defeats every foe So, by the chains may it grow.
