In each and every heart there is a prison cell
A penitentiary of sorrow and shame
We languish away in this jailhouse mentality
Doing our time in these cages of self-blame

How we long to drag deep into starving lungs
The sweet fragrance of priceless liberty
We seek with blinded eyes, grope with numbed fingers
Cry with muted voices for someone to set us free

All this time right here beside us
Stands the Savior to lead us through the gate
He holds the key, He calls to our spirits
We rage and we struggle but still He waits

There’s a Holy Spirit fire, pouring out in the latter rain
Open your eyes and look at all you will gain
There’s a Holy Spirit fire pouring out in the latter rain
Breathe in your freedom, dance away from your chains
Breathe in your freedom, dance away from your chains
Breathe in your freedom, dance away from your chains, oh

For each and every life there is a shining light
A hope for blinded eyes that hunger to see
A call to repentance, a cry for compassion
A prayer for salvation that reaches past humanity

There is a boldness where once there was timidity
A spirit of the sound mind where once there was fear
A fortress of strength in a battlefield of compromise
Standing our ground for His return draws ever near

In this connectedness of love and compassion
This wondrous common bond, we servants by our actions agree
That we will never change by our own devices
But if we lift our heads the answer is easy to see

There’s a Holy Spirit fire, pouring out in the latter rain
Open your eyes and look at all you will gain
There’s a Holy Spirit fire pouring out in the latter rain
Breathe in your freedom, dance away from your chains
Breathe in your freedom, dance away from your chains
Breathe in your freedom, dance away from your chains, oh

And all this time right here beside us
Stands the Savior to lead us through the gate
He holds the key, He calls to our spirits
We rage and struggle but still He waits

There’s a Holy Spirit fire, pouring out in the latter rain
Open your eyes and look at all you will gain
There’s a Holy Spirit fire pouring out in the latter rain
Breathe in your freedom, dance away from your chains
Breathe in your freedom, dance away from your chains

There’s a Holy Spirit fire, pouring out in the latter rain
Open your eyes and look at all you will gain
There’s a Holy Spirit fire pouring out in the latter rain
Breathe in your freedom, dance away from your chains
Breathe in your freedom, dance away from your chains
Breathe in your freedom, dance away from your chains, oh

Dance away from your chain
