Held Hostage

Verse 1

I know You said it

But these words stay in my head

It’s hard to hear You

Even harder still to follow through

I want to trust You

But fear keeps pulling me away

Every step feels heavy

When I’m walking in the gray

Pre-Chorus

In the fog and in the haze

We’ve lost ourselves inside this maze

Chorus [female vocal]

Find me, clean me, set me free

Break these chains that are holding me

Loose me from this bondage

I’m so tired being held hostage

I’ve been fighting just to breathe

God, I’m down on my knees

Find me, clean me, set me free

Verse 2

I hear the echo

Of every promise You’ve made

But doubt keeps shouting

Telling me I’ve gone astray

I’ve worn my shame like armor

Carried weight I couldn’t see

Still You’re calling softly

Saying, “Child, come home to Me.”

Pre-Chorus 2

In the fog and in the haze

I’ve been searching for Your face

Chorus [female vocal]

Find me, clean me, set me free

Loose these chains surrounding me

Loose me from this bondage

I’m so tired being held hostage

I don’t have the strength to fight

I’m surrendering tonight

Find me, clean me, set me free

Bridge

Even so, You hung on that tree

You gave Yourself completely

In my place, You died for me

Love written in humility

I didn’t earn it, I can’t repay

Still You chose me anyway

Final Chorus

Find me, clean me, set me free

Let Your mercy cover me

Loose me from this bondage

I’m done being held hostage

If this freedom costs my pride

I’ll lay it down at the cross tonight

Find me, clean me, set me free

Outro

I’m not lost, I’m finally found

Grace is where my chains hit the ground
