Legion No More (Man at the Tombs' Song)

The Story

This song recounts the radical restoration of the man possessed by a multitude of spirits. Living among the dead in the tombs, he was defined by his chains and the "million voices" of chaos. When Jesus arrives, He does not just heal the man; He gives him a mission. The man’s desire to follow Jesus is met with a command to go back to his own people and testify — turning a former outcast into a messenger of mercy. While on this earth, Jesus will have a plan that may be different than you want, Being obedient to that impacts you and those around you for eternity!

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I was a man of a thousand names Bound in the dark and the heavy chains A million voices inside my head Living my life among the dead The world was a static and deafening roar Until the Master stepped on the shore He spoke to the chaos, He spoke to the fear And suddenly all of the ghosts disappear! [Chorus] I’m running now, I’m running fast! The chains of the world are in the past I’ve got a story I have to tell About the Master who made me well! I’m crossing the valley and climbing the hill To tell every city He’s living still! Yeah, I’m running now, I’m running fast! [Verse 2] I used to be someone they’d look at and flee Now I’m the one that the people should see Not for my power and not for my pride But the Light of the Savior I’m carrying inside I begged to go with Him, I sat at His feet But He sent me back to the dust of the street "Go find your people, go find your friends Tell 'em the story where the mercy begins!" [Bridge] They knew me in the tombs, they knew me in the caves Now they’re gonna know the God who saves! From the city gates to the edge of the sea I’m Legion no more and I’m finally free! One man changed! A world to go! Open up the windows, let the whole world know! [Chorus] I’m running now, I’m running fast! The chains of the world are in the past I’ve got a story I have to tell About the Master who made me well! I’m crossing the valley and climbing the hill To tell every city He’s living still! Yeah, I’m running now, I’m running fast! [Outro] Legion no more. Yeah, I’m telling the world what He’s done for me. Everywhere I go.
