Two voices in call-and-response about laying down idols and false comforts that promise peace but deliver bondage. Speaker A names unforgiveness as another chain, while Speaker B chants for freedom and release, ending in a prayer surrendering everything that holds them back.

Chapters

I lay down my altars of comfort that have been giving me a sense of peace. They're no good and they don't sustain me, so I give Out my doors.
Every false sense of ease and every false sense of comfort.
'Cause it's only leading me to be in bondage. And you want to set me free. So help me to give up my idols. Help me to let go of everything that's holding me captive. I wanna be free without something holding me and keeping me yours. It's a bondage.
I wanna be free. I wanna be free. Free. Free.
And I cannot set me free. Unforgiveness is not freedom in you.
So I release, release. Release, release, release, release, release, release, release.
Place it into your hands. 'Cause an idol cannot set me free. An idol cannot liberate me. An idol cannot set me free. An idol cannot liberate me. An idol. I give up my comfort. I give up the places in my life that I'm holding from you.
Lay it all down at the altar. Lay it down at the altar. Lay it down at the altar.
