Rescue The Prisoner

See the insolent man standing on the street
Hear the thundering sound of rebellious feet
Demanding rights, defending wrong
It can bring the righteous blood to boil
And we ask, "Oh Lord, how long?

Oh, Lord, how long?"
This is not the enemy
Flesh and blood have been deceived
When we move beyond the anger
We will see

We've got to rescue the prisoner
Rescue the prisoner
Prisoner of war
That's what He came here for
Rescue the prisoner
Rescue the prisoner

In the beautiful land, hear the rivers cry
See the innocent ones learning well a lie
"There is no right, there is no wrong"
It can almost make your blood run cold
And we pray, "Lord, make us strong
Lord, make us strong"

This is not the enemy
Jesus died to make them free
Love will reach behind the danger
Come with me

We've got to rescue the prisoner
Rescue the prisoner
Prisoner of war
That's what He came here for
Rescue the prisoner
Rescue the prisoner

We are called to be a light
That even blinded eyes can see
To break the chains
To bind the wounds
And to proclaim the captive free

Rescue the prisoner
Rescue the prisoner
Pray for the prisoner
Rescue the prisoner

Rescue the prisoner
Pray for the prisoner
Rescue the prisoner
