Inside Those Walls

One by one they file in Socks and flip flops on their feet Some look down. Stare at the floor But some look up, your gaze they'll meet Most shake your hand as they walk by Each one is dressed up in their greens They sit and listen to the Truth of the Word Some join in as each of us sings There is a story on every face Although not so easily read Sometimes you see tears, heartache and pain They've all been places I've never been Sometimes I get lost in their faces And wonder what all they've been through Do they know there is hope beyond these walls? Do they know that Jesus loves them too? He loves you, sir. He loves you No matter what you're in here for He loves you, sir. He loves you He stands as the open door He's the open door of freedom From past mistakes and sin He wants to give you hope and a future If you'll just only let Him in I am no better than you, sir I've messed up...I was a sinner too But Jesus wants to take our broken hearts Piece them together and make them new He will meet you in your prison cell Just reach out and call His name Because you, my friend, are a treasure And its for you He took the blame
