Lyrics Jars of Clay

Jars of Clay

Prisoner of Hope

Stay close to me

In the shadow of my wing

In the shadow of my wing

Though the waters taste of poison

The wounds are all you feel

There is singing all around you

And the promises are real

Hide your face

Let the wind run out of breath

Let the wind run out of breath

Make you bleed from the heart

And ache from the mind

The saints are singing at your funerals

Strength for you to fight

Prisoner of hope, it won't be long now

Prisoner, I hope you can be strong now

Fall into me

I'll turn your ashes into flames

I'll turn your ashes into flames

Prisoner of hope, it won't be long now

Prisoner, I hope you can be strong now

Prisoner, I hope you carry on now

Prisoner, your love, it can't be held down

Prisoner of hope, it won't be long now

Prisoner, I hope you can be strong now

Prisoner, I hope you carry on now

Prisoner, your love, it can't be held down

Prisoner of hope, can't be held down

Prisoner of hope, can't be held down
