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
