I am bound and shackled in chains,
Which to the world seems so insane,
Renouncing rights to live my own way,
A slave to Christ to serve Him every day,
They fail to understand what exactly binds,
Why I chose leaving the old living behind,
It was the love of Jesus shed on the cross,
My eternal gain meant His temporal loss,
A selfless act of love that has compelled,
The carnal life unwanted ruthlessly expelled,
His love so deep, it's so inexpressibly divine,
Now reigning supreme on this throne enshrined,
Of my heart as His possessed temple of praise,
Bound in these voluntary chains for all my days.
