SPIRITUAL INCARCERATION
Bound, chained, and shackled is where you can find my spirit
Locked up, locked down is where you can find my spirit
Satan is the warden of the prison and his demons are the guards
at the gate
I didn't even have a trial and he sealed my fate
Now I'm locked away in this prison called Spiritual Incarceration
Where he wants to keep me for the next generation
Institutionalize is the goal
Where he can work on my spirit and take my soul
The warden said he wants to isolate me in my cell,
put me on death row, and sentence me to hell
How did I get locked away in this prison called Spiritual
Incarceration where he wants to keep me for the next generation?
I was destined to be great, now I'm sitting in my cell and waiting
on my fate
Twenty-four hour lock down with no time on the yard
I guess that's supposed to keep me from God
I don't think Satan realize I made a call to my lawyer, Jesus, and
he said - Keep the Faith and Hold On.
Satan made a personal visit to my cell and said - Tonight is the
night I will see you in hell.
The guards escorted me down the hall to the electric chair
I was so full of faith that I really didn't care
Strapped to the chair with the currents on high
Tonight is the night I was supposed to die
But wait...
The phone rings in my death chamber; it's a call from the Most
High
Where He tells Satan - Release him for it's not his time to die
Set him free, for his soul belongs to Me
I let you have him for over 12 years of his life
Now it's time to show him his purpose-driven life
I let you take him to the valley of the shadow of death
I let you take him to the lake of fire
I let you take him to jail, to show him flashes of hell
But I can't let you take his soul for it belongs to ME,
So un-strap the chair and set him free
The Holy Ghost is here to make sure everything is cool,
So Satan don't act like a fool
God...Why was I left here with no hope or desire,
for I knew all along Satan was a liar?
You were baptized by water with reaching the kingdom as your
ultimate desire
So I had to let Satan have you and put you through the fire
The Holy Ghost is here now to be a guide for your heart
Now it's time to be a witness for ME and do your part
My God!! My God!!
You have been great to me, for I'm no longer in spiritual
incarceration because you set me free
God let your will be done with the Holy Ghost leading the way
Jesus didn't even charge me, for He paid with his blood on the
cross on that special day
I'm Free!!!
I'm Free!!!
Thank God, I'm Free!!!
