Rich Mullins Prisoner Lyrics

Prisoner Lyrics

"Some people say they live for no good reason 
I guess they live despite

The very things they choose not to believe in 
And the love they must
deny 
I don't want that kind of they call it freedom 
If I have to be a
cynic when I die 

I'd rather be a prisoner 
Lock me in and never let
me out 
I'd rather be a prisoner of Your love 
Than to be the champion of
my doubt 

Some people say this world will end with a whimper 
And some
say with a bang 
No matter how much your theories might differ 
It's
passing just the same 
And when it's gone I hope I can remember 
Who to
accuse and who I have to thank 

I hope that I'm Your prisoner 
Well
maybe then you could transfer me out of here 
I'd rather be a prisoner of
Your love 
Than to be the victim of their fears 

I hear the door shut
I hear the lock snap 
I know that when You took me in that 
You'd never
let me go back 
I see the people I hear their angry shouts 
And I know
when You locked me in 
You locked the world out 

I'd rather be a
prisoner 
Well You can lock me in and never let me out 
Than to be the
champion of my doubt 
I'd rather by a prisoner of Your love 

I'd
rather be a prisoner 
Well You can lock me in and never let me out 
I'd
rather be a prisoner of Your love 
Than to be the champion of my doubt

I'd rather be a prisoner "
