Break These Prison Bars
Rise Like The Sun

Ch: O Lord have mercy, break these prison bars
- have mercy on me.

V1: If I’m imprisoned for my point of view
Can anybody hear me when I cry?
Should we worry for injustice?
What is your prison?

V2: Is it ‘but for the grace of God there go I?
Are the scales of justice broken? Is liberty sleeping?
Is it ‘the other cheek’ or ‘an eye for an eye’?
What is your prison?
O Lord, have mercy break these prison bars
And in your mercy, set us free.
