Hostage - In the Verse

I’m dying on the inside wasting away

into a life absorbing state of decay

Desperate for answers hungry for rage

Dare I try to reason from in this cage

Pre-Something must change before it’s too late

You came and saved me like a Phantom

You washed me in Your Blood to pay my ransom

You carried me through the fire of this lost age

And now I’m freely Yours

No longer hostage

Desire for evil and things I shouldn’t be

Do I control my body or my body me

My flesh creates its own prison away from You

I need Your Strength so I can break through

Pre-Something must change before it’s too late

You came and saved me like a Phantom

You washed me in Your Blood to pay my ransom

You carried me through the fire of this lost age

And now I’m freely Yours

No longer hostage

Bridge

So breathe Your Wisdom into every corner within

Let Your Spirit in my life before I self-destruct again

You came and saved me like a Phantom

You washed me in Your Blood to pay my ransom

You carried me through the fire of this lost age

And now I’m freely Yours

No longer hostage

You spoke Your Truth into my life like thunder

You reached for me before I was pulled under

You carried me through the fire of this lost age

And now I’m freely Yours

No longer hostage
