They chained our bodies, not our soul
Truth kept burning through the cold
Through the cross and through the pain
Grace ignites the freedom flame
Voices rise from every land
Holding truth in trembling hands
Light the fire, let it burn
Justice cries at every turn
Through the storm, through the shame
We will carry the freedom flame
Dr. King had a dream so wide
Mandela stood, though they tried
Malcolm spoke with fearless eyes
All stood tall, refusing lies
But the greatest freedom call
Came from Christ who died for all
Light the fire, let it burn
Justice cries at every turn
Through the storm, through the shame
We will carry the freedom flame
Chains may rattle, hate may scream
But God’s love still redeems
No more silence, no more fear
Heaven’s justice drawing near
Light the fire, let it shine
In our hearts, His truth divine
Through the storm, through the flame
We will rise in Jesus’ name
