Living in My Heart
Sitting in this cold and dark prison
For what?
Nothing.
But, my sins sit in my cell, in the corner
Where I can stare at them all day
And they burden me
Oh well
Not like I can walk right out
This is my life now
Embrace it
I see the stack of my sins
My shame
My failures
My regrets
Almost to the ceiling now
Regrets
I want to know how to escape
But these chains
Hold me down
I can move nothing, but an inch
Fed every other day
My smiles slapped off my face
Why even try?
I'm stuck
In this pit
For the rest of my shameful existence
'Til the light shone in
And blinded me
But, only for a moment
Then I realize
This is reality
Someone truly does care about me
Who came to rescue me
From this enduring Hell
Breaks the chains
Breaks the weights
I am free
... I am free!!
My sins
They fall
And crash and burn
Forever gone
I am forgiven by my Lord Jesus
My Savior!
Because He hung up on the cross
For my sins
... and for your sins, too
We can live in Heaven
Tell others about Him
That they may be forgiven as well
I am full
I am happy
My smile is drawn upon my lips again
My laugh is recreated
The sparkle in my eyes
You know
That I have Jesus Christ living in my heart
