My life was once marked by sorrow and shame
And I was defined by my past
Heartache was something I could not escape
There was no joy that would last
But Jesus found me and everything changed
I will never again be the same

While I was a prisoner
He broke every chain
While I was a beggar
He called me by name
While I was guilty
He faced Calvary
And while I was a sinner
Jesus died for mе

Long before I evеr knew I was lost
A Savior had taken my place
Offering hope in exchange for a cross
Meeting my need with His grace
When I look back at the person I was
I'm amazed by the depths of His love

While I was a prisoner
He broke every chain
While I was a beggar
He called me by name
While I was guilty
He faced Calvary
And while I was a sinner
Jesus died for me
While I was guilty
He faced Calvary
And while I was sinner
I was a sinner
Jesus died for me
He died for me

While, while, while
I was a prisoner
He broke every chain
While I was a beggar
He called me by name
While I was guilty
He faced Calvary
And while I was a sinner
I was a sinner
Jesus died for me
He died for me
