I didn’t want to love but my heart deceived me
I didn’t want to hate but pain whispered in my ear
I didn’t want to cry but my tears kept on falling
I didn’t want to hope but I’ve been imprisoned here.
I am a prisoner of hope by the prayers that bind me
I am a prisoner of hope, I’m chained to His Word
I am a prisoner of hope, locked in by His goodness
I am a prisoner of hope in a mighty fortress of love
I didn’t want to believe but He has never let me down
I didn’t want to doubt but this world has spun me around
I didn’t want to wait but there is nowhere without Him to go
I didn’t want to hope but I’ve been a prisoner for too long
I am a prisoner of hope, taken captive by my faith
I am a prisoner of hope by one who never lets me go
I am a prisoner of hope, so you can throw away the key
I am a prisoner of hope this is the freedom that I know.
cjb
Zachariah 9:12
“Return to your fortress, you prisoners of hope;
even now I announce that I will restore twice as much to you.”
