Lyrics

Take the (Gm)shack les off my feet so I can dance.

I just wan na (D7)praise You, I just wan na (Gm)praise You.

You broke the chains, now I can lift my hands,

and I’m gon na (D7)praise You, I’m gon na (Gm)praise You.

In the cor ners of my mind I just can’t seem to find a rea son to be lieve 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 un der stand that I should (Gm)praise You through my cir cum stance.

Take the (Gm)praise You.

Ev ’ry thing that could go wrong all went wrong at one time.

So much pres sure fell on me I thought I was gon na lose my mind.

But I know You wan na see if I will hold on through these trials.

But I need You to lift this load, ’cause I can’t take it no more.

Take the shack les off my feet so I can dance.

I just wan na (D7)praise You, I just wan na (Gm)praise You.

You broke the chains, now I can lift my hands,

and I’m gon na (D7)praise You, I’m gon na (Gm)praise You.

(CN.C.)Bum ba dum bum bum ba, bum ba, bum bum bum.

Bum ba dum bum bum ba, bum ba, ba da da da da da.

(CN.C.)Bum ba dum bum bum ba, bum ba, bum bum bum.

Bum ba dum bum bum ba, bum ba, ba da da da da da.

bum ba, bum bum bum.

Been (Gm)through the fi re and the rain, (Cm)bound in ev ’ry kind of way.

But (D7)God has bro ken ev ’ry chain, so (Gm)let me go.

Take the shack les off my feet so I can dance.

I just wan na (D7)praise You, I just wan na (Gm)praise You.

You broke the chains, now I can lift my hands,

and I’m gon na (D7)praise You, I’m gon na (Gm)praise You.

Take the shack les off my feet so I can (Cm7)dance.

You broke the chains, now I can lift my, lift my hands.
