Ball and Chain Lyrics by Susan Ashton

So Far: The Best of Susan Ashton, Volume One

0

In the middle of the night
Wakened by the wind
Or was it something from my past
Come to call again?
It was the presence of the pain
That I could not escape
And it wrapped around my soul
Like a ball and chain
All of us have a heartache
All of us have been stained
All of us long for freedom
But there's only One who can break
This ball and chain
In the middle of the night
Wakened by the wind
Or did I hear it call my name
Like a faithful friend?
Oh, it was the presence of the peace
That I could not escape
And it wrapped around my soul
Like a warm embrace
All of us have a heartache
All of us have been stained
All of us long for freedom
But there's only One who can break
This ball and chain, yeah
Facing all my fears
Knowing that He's near
I stand tall, oh...
Healing as His tears
Wash my lonely years
He calls to me
In the middle of the night
All of us have a heartache
All of us have been stained
All of us long for freedom
But there's only one who can break
This ball and chain
All of us have a heartache
All of us have been stained
All of us long for freedom
But there's only One who can break
Oh, there's only One who can break
Oh, there's only One who can break
This ball and chain
There's only One who can break
This ball and chain
Only One, only One
