Chains Hit the Ground Lyrics

I'm holding on to You
It's all I know to do
When fear has had me bound
When enemies surround

There's freedom in this truth
My salvation is in You
And I remember the nails that You took for me
When You died in my shame and iniquity

Jesus, You have set me free
The thorns of my pain You wore in a crown
When You bowed Your head
Your love was poured out

And my chains hit the ground
You are the Rock I've found
Above the shifting ground
Amid a raging war

You're the One I'm fighting for
For all of my years
My banner will be clear
I am Yours

And even though the waves, they crash below
I'm holding onto love
I'm holding onto love
I am Yours

Forever all my days, I lay before Your holy love
I'm holding onto love

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
