V1
Once I was a prisoner
Locked up in my shame
I couldn’t reach the key
With my hands and feet in chains
Looked like no hope for this sinner
Knocked down and no way out
But I remembered the Bible stories
And I knew what God’s about
C
When I got back to the bible
When I got back to the truth
When I got back to the gospel
When I got back to the pew
The Spirit of the Lord showed up
Right there in that church seat
I felt the holy fire
Love chased off that old liar
Pulled me from the mud and mire
And the presence of the Lord was so sweet
And I stood up on the Rock on my two feet
V2
Life can bring us heartache
But we’re never out of hope
There’s power in His name
And freedom we can know
God answered Momma’s prayers
His truths I’ve always heard
Are planted deep within MY heart
And rooted in His Word
(That’s why…)
BRIDGE
Now I’m standing on the Rock
My Faith is anchored deep
Cause the One who stands beside me
Stands upon His nail scared feet
