Breaking Free wasn’t supposed to be on
this project. I had just completed Beth
Moore’s Bible Study “Breaking Free” where
she focused on Isaiah, chapter 61.
Knowing all to well the emptiness of
bondage, Beth drove home key points
showing how in God there is freedom. The
insights and precepts I learned moved me
so much that God inspired me. I replaced a
song that didn’t fit the theme of “In Spirit and
Truth.”
During one of the many studio trips, Doug,
James and I all got sick with a nasty cold. I
had no singing voice; nevertheless, we
wanted to make productive use of the time.
So we worked on getting the track made for
Breaking Free. I told him the key, and sang it
phrase by phrase to him since I had not yet
made a demo. Doug was a huge help with
one particular phrase and the bridge.

Isaiah 61:1-4
The Year of the Lord's Favor (Jubilee)
1 The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me,
because the LORD has anointed me
to preach good news to the poor.
He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim freedom for the captives
and release from darkness for the prisoners,
2 to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor
and the day of vengeance of our God,
to comfort all who mourn,
3 and provide for those who grieve in Zion—
to bestow on them a crown of beauty
instead of ashes,
the oil of gladness
instead of mourning,
and a garment of praise
instead of a spirit of despair.
They will be called oaks of righteousness,
a planting of the LORD
for the display of his splendor.
4 They will rebuild the ancient ruins
and restore the places long devastated;
they will renew the ruined cities
that have been devastated for generations.

(Verse 1)
I’m a pilgrim on a journey,
On the straight and narrow way.
No More spirit of despair,
But a garment made of praise.
All I had to do was know You,
All I had to do was believe.
I can find satisfaction,
I can experience Your peace
(Chorus)
Breaking Free!
No more chains can bind me.
I’m breaking free,
I want Your Glory deep inside me.
If I’d learned so long ago,
If my mind could have conceived.
Holy Spirit come and guide me -
(Sweet Holy Spirit)
And I will break free.
(Verse 2)
You bind up the brokenhearted,
With Your unfailing love.
You release us from the darkness,
Your loving us from up above.
Thought the mountains may be shaken,
Thought the hills may be removed.
You renew the ancient cities,
There’s no other God but you!
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
There’s no more empty space,
(You fill my soul)
You flood my mind, my heart, my Soul,
(Love makes me whole)
And as Your love comes in -
And makes me whole
Praise God I’m breaking free.
(Key Change Chorus)
(End Tag)
Yea!
I will break free.
I will break free
(Scat through end)
I’m breaking, breaking free!
See this scripture in the NT when Jesus
read it in the temple Luke 4:16-21
