Down, deep below and far from light,

Exists a prison cell,

Where darkness rules, and pain and hurt

And unforgiveness  dwell.

*

Your unforgiveness locked the door

And now stands there to guard.

It trapped your pains of pasts inside

This prison of your heart.

*

The only way is Truth and Light,

Which sets all pris’ners free.

It’s found in Jesus Christ alone.

It’s He who holds the key.

*

Through His forgiveness of your sins,

He gives you grace to see,

That all along twas you, the guard,

Who’s bound and couldn’t flee.

*

So take with grace the gift He left –

Forgiveness take and give –

And with this set your pris’ners free,

In freedom now go live.

Luke 4:18

He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives

and recovering of sight to the blind,

to set at liberty those who are oppressed
