Prisoner of War

(Verse 1)

The shadow in the corner, it knows my name

A subtle whisper fueling the flame

This unclean spirit, a trespasser inside

Trying to conquer where my true heart should reside.

I'm a soldier in a battle fought in the deep

Every moment I'm awake, and even in my sleep.

Born into a silence where the truth was suppressed

Now I stand defiant, putting faith to the test.

(Pre-Chorus)

I feel the chains, the darkness holding tight

But I remember the promise, there is a greater light.

(Chorus)

Abba, Father, hear the cry of my soul!

I'm rising up now, losing all control

To the King who delivers, the power that sets free.

Conquer this temple, cleanse what defiles me.

This slippery serpent, a captive it will be,

A Prisoner of War, restrained and loosed from me.

I put my trust in Your unwavering love.

(Verse 2)

I ask for the strength to stand tall and to fight

To walk in the glory of the all-consuming light.

You said, "Keep strong and keep active, don't stop, keep going,"

Advancing the Kingdom, where Your truth is flowing.

I'm learning to submit, letting Your hand drive

The substance of this prayer, to finally feel alive.

A son of the Most High, with valor I must stand,

Delivered from the torment, guided by Your hand.

(Pre-Chorus)

I feel the chains, the darkness holding tight

But I remember the promise, there is a greater light.

(Chorus)

Abba, Father, hear the cry of my soul!

I'm rising up now, losing all control

To the King who delivers, the power that sets free.

Conquer this temple, cleanse what defiles me.

This slippery serpent, a captive it will be,

A Prisoner of War, restrained and loosed from me.

I put my trust in Your unwavering love.

(Bridge)

I will tell the story of the one who was tormented

And the power that delivered, the love that was cemented.

Every day You restrain it, limiting its power,

I'll keep leaning on You, right up to the final hour.

(Guitar Solo - Emotional, building to a powerful climax)

(Chorus)

Abba, Father, hear the cry of my soul!

I'm rising up now, losing all control

To the King who delivers, the power that sets free.

Conquer this temple, cleanse what defiles me.

This slippery serpent, a captive it will be,

A Prisoner of War, restrained and loosed from me.

I put my trust in Your unwavering love.

(Outro)

Loose me from it now... in Jesus' name.

Keep trusting... keep strong... keep going...

(Fade out with repeated guitar riff and drums)
