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 09/24/07 written words by James Edward Lee Sr.
