Locked Up But Not Locked Out
I'm surrounding by these walls
Windows encased in bars
Stripped of my freedom, engaged in my personal demons
I'm physically locked up bound by my present and past decisions
I am locked up but not locked out
I am locked up but not out
I am born again
And Jesus is my friend
Only He can judge my heart and not man
I am locked up but not locked out
I don't know if you know what I'm talking bout'
Stripped of my freedom, engaged in my personal demons
I'm physically locked up bound by my present and past decisions
I am locked up but not locked out
I am locked up but not out
I am born again
I am locked up but not locked out
In my mind I clutter and bind
No inward peace I can find
I chosen sin then Jesus came within
freed me from my past and sins
He freed me from myself now I am blessed, blessed
I was mentally challenged
But now in Christ balanced
I'm complete and whole again no longer in fear
He holds me near
I am locked up but not locked out
Stripped of my freedom, engaged in my personal demons
I'm physically locked up bound by my present and past decisions
I am locked up but not locked out
I am locked up but not out
I am born again
I am locked up but not locked out
