I don't have to cry anymore 
I don't have to worry about what's in store 
I've walked that road exhausted and poor 
I don't have to cry anymore 

And I don't have to know it all 
I don't have to be so proud and stand so tall 
I climbed that mountain only to fall 
I don't have to know it all 

You did that for me 
Oh, you did that for me 
You wore the chains so I could be free 
Yeah, yeah 
You did that for me 

And I don't have to be ashamed 
Hang my head or shoulder the blame 
Wondering if my life's been in vain 
I don't have to be ashamed 

Oh, you did that for me 
Oh, you did that for me 
You wore the chains so I could be free 
Yeah, yeah 
You did that for me 

Man of sorrows 
Well acquainted with grief 
Drug down to the city dump 
Spread eagle on a cross beam 
Propped up like a scarecrow 
Nailed like a thief 
There for all the world to see 

You wore the chains so I could be free 
Yeah, yeah 
Oh Lord, you did that for me 
Oh Lord, you did that for me, You wore the chains so I could be free
