Set Him Free

Deep in a dungeon lies a sinner in chains, weeping in anguish.

Dark sins enslave him; he is writhing in pain. Hope seems to vanish.

He has lived in his sins, and he knows where they lead.

Now he hates all of them, and he longs to be free.

In his heart, he is chained to sins that hold him a slave.

At times he wants to be free, but he needs to believe.

His heart longs for God, but his nature does not.

But is he not like you and me?

He clings to his sin, though it keeps hurting him;

And only Christ can set him free.

            This battle must wage for each one of our souls.

            And in this the love of our Saviour is told.

            He chose to be wounded that we may be whole.

            So then what will this prisoner choose?

Lord, I know that my prayers have not been in vain.

I’ll trust in Your Word, Your promises claim.

By faith, Lord, I know that You will set him free.

You’ll soften his heart and draw him to Thee.

You alone can enter that dungeon cell,

And save his soul from the depths of hell.

Give him the key, and show him the way.

Give him the will to trust and obey.

Shine Your light in his dungeon so dark;

Show him the healing You have to impart.

And finally lead him triumphantly on;

Let “Victory, victory” be his song.

Give him the desire to follow Your voice,

And make him invincible in the power of choice.

You have come to the door of his dungeon.

Freedom is the door, faith is the key.

I know You will set him free.

            I know You will set him free.

Believe -- Lyrics

Verse 1:

Lord, I come to You to praise Your name, and as I draw nigh, You will do the same.

Lord, You have the answers, and You know what is best. I choose to walk with You.

My efforts You will bless.

Lord, help me to do whatever You say, not to pick and choose,

But trust in You and obey.

I have not because I ask not, so, Lord, now I ask that Your will be done.

The least I could do is give You my heart,

And that at least would be a start.

I believe in You. I believe in You.

Verse 2:

When we want something what do we do, just sit there and do nothing?

No, we tend to ask God for our will to be done, and then we wonder why

He didn’t give us our want.

Let us lift our heart with our hands unto God,

And search and try our ways, and turn to seek His face.

We have not because we ask amiss, so we can get those things that we wish.

But that is not what we should do to our God,

Instead we should seek whatever Jesus wants.

Let’s believe in Him. Let’s believe in Him.

Verse 3:

When you have a need what will you do, just sit there and do nothing?

No, that’s not the answer, stop relying on yourself. Just trust in the Lord,

And pray for Him to bless.

            When you have a need, just go to Him,

Believe you will receive, just believe in Him.

You have not because you ask not, so just seek His face, and trust He has the grace

And know if it’s according to His will, your petition He will fulfill.

Just believe in Him. Just believe in Him.

Verse 4:

Lord, without Your grace I would fall apart, thinking I was whole yet having a hard heart.

But, Lord, You can help me to walk in the light; You are the only way,

You’re the source of right.

            By grace I am saved, and that not of myself;

            It’s a gift from You through faith. I can’t rely on myself.

I can do ALL things through YOU. You give me strength, and show me what to do.

My faith You’ll keep increasing through everything,

And when You come again, I’ll be able to say,

“I believed in You. I believed in You.

ENDING:

I want to see You, Lord, and until the day I do,

I’ll claim the promises of Your word as You lead me through.

I believe in You. I believe in You.
