When you find yourself in a bind
Without a choice and left behind
You look around you don’t know what to do
You want to run but you’re stuck like glue
You’re without a plan you don’t know where to go
Your aim is high but your confidence is low
Still without a choice and no way out
You pull out your hair, scream and shout
You lift up your hands high in the air
Then drop to your knees low in despair
You’re full or tears running down your cheeks
You’ve been stuck in this place, for it seems like weeks
You have no place to run so you just want to hide
You are full of emotions and they all seem to collide
Then you hear the gospel and it warms your heart
For the first time in your life you have a place to start
You open your heart and let Christ come in
He offers salvation and freedom from sin
You confess your sin and He breaks your chains
He is your life’s blood that runs through your veins
As you change, you grow and you mature
He does a miracle in your heart your motives become pure
You can’t keep this a secret you must go and tell
You have to share the gospel so others can be spared from hell
