Natalie Grant & Mary Mary Lyrics

"Shackles (Praise You)"
(originally by Mary Mary)

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 want to praise You
I just want to praise You
You broke the chains now I can lift my hands
And I'm gonna praise You
Said 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 gon' lose my mind
Now Lord I know You want to see
If I'm gon' hold on through these trials
But I need You to lift this load
'Cause I can't take this no more

Take the shackles off my feet so I can dance
I just want to praise You ('cause I just wanna)
I just want to praise You (just wanna praise You)
You broke the chains now I can lift my hands (I can lift my hands)
And I'm gonna praise You (Said I wanna praise You)
Said I'm gonna praise you (Said I wanna praise You)

Take the shackles off my feet so I can dance (take 'em off of my feet now)
I just want to praise You ('cause I just wanna)
I just want to praise You (praise)
You broke the chains now I can lift my hands
And I'm gonna praise You (I'm gonna praise You)
Said I'm gonna praise You

Been through the fire and the rain
Through the fire and the rain
Bound in every kind of way
Bound in every kind of way
But God has broken every chain
So let me go, let me go right now

I just want to praise You (I just wanna praise You)
I just want to praise You (praise the Lord)
You broke the chains now I can lift my hands (I can lift my hands)
And I'm gonna praise You
Said I'm gonna praise You, yeah

Take the shackles off my feet so I can dance (I can lift my hands)
I just want to praise You (I gotta praise You)
I just want to praise You
You broke the chains now I can lift my hands (I can lift my hands)
And I'm gonna praise You (I'm gonna praise You)
Said I'm gonna praise you (yeah)

Take the shackles off my feet so I can dance (that's what I came to do)
I just want to praise You (that's what I came to do)
I just want to praise You (I came to praise You)
You broke the chains now I can lift my hands
And I'm gonna praise You
Said I'm gonna praise You
