The Prisoner
by Gabriel Ansley

Album: The Prisoner - Single

Verse 1
I shuffled out in shackles and chains
I saw the crowd frenzied in rage
Then I heard the Roman say, 'Who shall I release?"
That's when I saw Him, the King of the Jews
He was badly beaten, bloodied and bruised
So I never dreamed when they'd choose, it would be me

Chorus
That's the day He gave His life for me
That's the day a prisoner was set free
He hung there in my place, enduring all my pain
That's the day He gave His life for me

Verse 2
My eyes never left Him as He shouldered that log
And there were people saying that He'd done no wrong
So I couldn't help but tag along as He climbed that hill
Then I watched them spike Him and raise Him up
Then I watched the most amazing display of love
As He asked the Father above to please forgive

Chorus
That's the day He gave His life for me
That's the day a prisoner was set free
He hung there in my place, enduring all my pain
That's the day He gave His life for me
Oh, and I believed
That's the day He gave His life for me
