When will I get out of this prison?

When shall I get a taste of real freedom?

This cell is suffocating me; it's extinguishing that small flame I inside my heart,

Hope is leaving where it used to reside,

Can I still be called smart?

This dark room I'm in is where I went in,

I made this through sin,

This carnal self of mine kept on devouring what my savior has saved,

Clutter and dirt in my road to life had been paved,

Still why must I stay and be confined, chained in my painful past and worldly desires?

My human flesh every now and then wins and my whole being screams of guilt,

In the morning, I sing praises to GOD and say my prayers at night,

In the afternoon I try so hard to be nice and kind with all my might,

Hoping to give GOD the glory and make HIM smile,

But now I see myself unable to win the battle against myself and Satan,

Why are you so weak oh, selfish woman?

Today I woke up and I prayed,

Suddenly everything changed.

Hope filled my veins,

No longer do I feel my chains,

I surrendered everything to the one that saves,

I called to Jesus and now He is the one that in me reigns!
