Holy Father
God and Author
Of all that is and was
And of all that will be
We are calling
We are falling
Into the chains of despair
We need to be set free

Chorus One
You have spoken Your Name
You have spoken Your Name
You have spoken Your Name
The Prince of Peace

Verse Two
Bread of Life and
Living Water
We are so hungry for You
We thirst for Your holiness
We are empty
Vile and guilty
Unworthy to bow at Your feet
Unable to do anything else

Chorus Two
You have taken our shame
You have taken our shame
You have taken our shame
And made us clean
You have broken the chains
You have broken the chains
You have broken the chains
And set us free

Bridge
And You see the mess we’ve made
Still you love us just the same
Amazing love
You have pulled us from this grave
Held us high in your righteousness
Amazing love

Chorus Three
You have spoken Your Name
You have taken our shame
You have broken the chains
And we are free
You have spoken Your Name
You have taken our shame
You have broken the chains
And we are free
