Break These Chains Around My Heart

Album: You Can Live Forever  •  About NECM

Break These Chains Around My Heart is an emotional prayer for freedom from every sin, distraction, habit, and burden that keeps the heart away from God. It recognizes that only the Father, through the blood of Jesus Christ, can break the chains that hold a person spiritually captive. The song cries out for a heart made free to worship, love, and serve God more completely. It is a sincere plea for cleansing, renewed devotion, and a closer relationship with the Holy One.
