THE UNSEEN PRISON
By Ken Blue
There is an unseen prison,
With bolts, chains and bars.
The floor is ever changing;
Despair hides the stars.
The prison holds victims firm;
They lack strength or will.
Human efforts to escape,
Those walls; victor still.
The walls are of fleshly lust,
Ceilings, mans own pride.
Floors crafted of impure thoughts,
Where the captives hide.
No light shines in that dungeon;
Darkness rules that den.
The walls, bars, and the ceilings;
All forged from our sins.
The slaves firmly shackled there,
Despair hour by hour.
Their hope for a full release,
An external power.
Jesus is the unseen Door;
Death, freedoms merit.
His grace sets the captives free;
Led by His Spirit.
There is an unseen prison,
With bolts, chains and bars.
Full pardon is provided,
Written in His scars.
Romans 6:11-16
