See the insolent man standing on the street Hear the thundering sound of rebellious feet Demanding rights, defending wrong It can bring the righteous blood to boil And we ask, "Oh Lord, how long? Oh, Lord, how long?" This is not the enemy Flesh and blood have been deceived When we move beyond the anger We will see We've got to rescue the prisoner Rescue the prisoner Prisoner of war That's what He came here for Rescue the prisoner Rescue the prisoner In the beautiful land, hear the rivers cry See the innocent ones learning well a lie "There is no right, there is no wrong" It can almost make your blood run cold And we pray, "Lord, make us strong Lord, make us strong" This is not the enemy Jesus died to make them free Love will reach behind the danger Come with me We've got to rescue the prisoner Rescue the prisoner Prisoner of war That's what He came here for Rescue the prisoner Rescue the prisoner We are called to be a light That even blinded eyes can see To break the chains To bind the wounds And to proclaim the captive free Rescue the prisoner Rescue the prisoner Pray for the prisoner Rescue the prisoner Rescue the prisoner Pray for the prisoner Rescue the prisoner
