The Chain Gang

When God looked down where the devil reigns He saw a whole lot of people carrying chains They were digging up holes for their very own sin Oh it's gonna be the grave the devil puts them in They were bound by hate They were bound by greed They were slaved to the things that they just don't need Well Satan's got a whole lot of people working on the chain gang (working on the chain gang) Shackled to the world carrying their guilt and shame (carrying their guilt and shame) But God saw a whole lot of people working on the chain gang (working on the chain gang) So he sent his son and his son came to break those chains Well there ain't no help down in this hole The devil's got ahold and he won't let go Well I got time threw my shovel down Fell to my knees there on the ground Well the devil said son you belong to me So I cried to the lord would you set me free I don't want to die end up in hell Forgive me lord That's when the shackles fell (that's when the shackles fell) Satan's got a whole lot of people working on the chain gang (working on the chain gang) Shackled to the world carrying their guilt and shame (carrying their guilt and shame) But God saw a whole lot of people working on the chain gang So he sent his son and his son and his son came to break those chains God sent his son and his son came to break those chains He's gonna break those chains (He's gonna break those chains) He's gonna break those chains (He's gonna break those chains) He's gonna break those chains (He's gonna break those chains) He's gonna break those chains
