Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

Everyone knows there is pain in this life

We've all seen our share of tears

But I choose to live on the positive side

And I won't be held hostage by fear


I'm a prisoner of hope, bound by my faith

Chained to Your love, locked up in grace

I'm free to leave but I'll never go

I'm wonderfully, willingly, freely a prisoner of hope


Some people doubt what they don't understand

But I know what's true in my heart

Now I can't control what's out of my hands

But I can lay back in Your arms


I'm a prisoner of hope, bound by my faith

I'm a prisoner of hope, bound by my faith, bound by my faith

Chained to Your love, locked up in grace

I'm free to leave but I'll never go

I'm wonderfully, willingly, freely a prisoner of hope
