Free I am a prisoner I am trapped by myself I threw away the key to unlock the bars of my cell I am a prisoner I am trapped by myself My chains are forged of my fear I am a prisoner I am trapped by myself For I cannot trust the Lord I beat against the walls And the blows fall on my soul I am a prisoner; I am trapped by myself With my doubt, I walked into this cell The hands of my fear threw the keys away I am a prisoner; I am trapped by myself I can see the keys, but I fear to reach for them I have lost my trust in God, who is my strength I am a prisoner; I am trapped by myself In the dark of my despair, I hear His voice He says He can set me free But I doubt I have no trust, no faith, no hope I had forged chains of fear Jesus broke them I am no longer a prisoner; Jesus has set me free I had raised walls of doubt At His command, they fell I am no longer a prisoner; Jesus has set me free My despair held me back, its bars between me and freedom He held the key, He parted them I am no longer a prisoner; Jesus has set me free I feared the darkness And He lit a candle of hope I am no longer a prisoner; Jesus has set me free I lean on Him He leads me out of the prison I made for myself I am no longer a prisoner; Jesus has set me free.
