Gentle Jailer

Gentle Jailer

Lord to you i send my cry
In such times like these
Who else can we turn to?
We put all our trust in you
Cuz your hand can do all things.

In times of trouble, you save us
In repentance its you who forgives
You are the gentle jailer who sets us free
Everytime we repent truly from our hearts

Bind us tight with your love
Bring us down with meekness
Send us away with your boldness
Bind us with your grace and mercy
And may we never stumble in this world
For your light is the light unto our dark paths
