Randy Stonehill Album: Edge Of The World Track: Prisoner Of Hope
Prisoner Of Hope Lyrics
I'm slow to learn, I'm slow to change I find this roller coaster life both beautiful and strange I try my best to sort things out But at times I'm sort of clueless as to what this thing's about And I've been wrong and I've been used But in light of the big picture I'm still peaceful and bemused
Chorus: Prisoner of hope tonight With a reason to be faithful I'm a prisoner of hope tonight With a reason to be grateful I'm slow to judge, I'm slow to fight
I confess that my own track record is far from lily white Sometimes I'm scared, sometimes I doubt Sometimes I make such a mess I'm sure there's no way out And I have failed and I have cried But at times I find it's healthy when you dine on humble pie
Chorus
Bridge 1: Bound for all eternity by this three chord rope- Father, Son and Spirit- I'm a prisoner of hope
Bridge 2: Captured by a love I don't deserve or understand Held within the grip of these awesome, holy hands You may say that this is just the dream of desperate men But far from desperate dreaming, I am waking up again
