[Verse 1] d**h rides blackened clouds across the sky The Son of man lays down to die With every pounding blow upon the nail Thunder rumbles all through hell And from d**h's barren womb the captives cry Who is there to free us should He die [Verse 2] His grave becomes a door, He enters in To face the author of all sin Defying d**h and the grave He takes their keys And with them every captive frees And from d**h's barren womb the captives cry Arise for our redemption draweth nigh [Chorus] For He holds the keys He holds the keys And though we've been held captive At long last we are free For He holds the keys [Verse 3] Against the gates of hell I now resist For the shackles that had torn my wrists Lay before me now upon the ground To sin I am no longer bound For from d**h's barren womb He heard my cry And loosed the chains that bound me to a lie [Bridge] And to all the things that have kept you away That keep you defeated day after day after day The heartache that nobody sees That eats at your soul like a cruel disease He who set the captives free It is He, it is He who holds your keys
