But the torment was I suffered all alone

Remember then your brothers who are suffering
Remember that your sisters are in pain
For some of them the sun of hope is setting
For others it will never rise again

The chains can’t bind the hopefulness
And the bars can’t block the means of grace
And the distance that might separate
Cannot defeat the prayers that we might suffer in their place

After all these could be your own children dying
They’re your wives, your mothers, your husbands, and your sons
And we must weep the tears that they are crying
In prayer we take our stand beside them so they won’t be alone

So fellow prisoners, remember
That we may know captivity
But there’s a purpose in the calling
For it is the Lord that sets the prisoner free

After all these are your own children dying
They’re your wives, your mothers, your husbands, and your sons
So we must weep the tears that they are crying
In prayer we take our stand beside them so they won’t be alone
