The Walls of Huntsville
By Robert Lockett
Though these walls of Huntsville may feel like a prison, God sets all ablaze and restores with precision.
He has given to others deserving it more. He gives us a new love, when we open the door.
The devil would have us believe it's our life, to do as we please take control of the knife.
The battle goes on and fools rush to her side, finding emptiness timeless in time deep inside.
She's a sly old serpent with time on her side, let’s look to the timeless get ready to ride.
There's flesh that needs carving, the sword is death to its pride, dividing the darkness with light down inside.
Our pride will not shine like she coached us thus far, lay it down in defeat, all that's left is the scar.
Do not miss that old love she deceived us in vain, to run from the truth is the essence of pain.
She can threaten and howl and remove our good name, scar us for life and shower us with shame.
Freeing the prisoners a bloody red mess, when your sword is kept clean there is eternal rest.
As we fish and ask men to walk out on this dock, through the gate at the end we can laugh at the clock.
Though the bricks won't come down till the day we go home, we trust in our savior 'the truth' and don't roam.
If the locks and the chains see no end in this place,
Just remember the keys are His glory and grace.
The walls of this place may be around till the end, we do not fear death it's a promise to mend.
He did more than promise He defeated her lies, when He rose from the dead and then into the skies.
So kick us and spit you can call us all fools, but if you'll face the light you'll be given new tools.
Try a sword and a shield with a whole set of armor, to drive away darkness with courage and honor.
Some things are inevitable, like our death and our sin, you can die now and start life all over again.
A new heaven and earth He'll set in a new light, if you'd like God can show you right now He is right.
Be honest with Him and you'll never regret, His reaching inside for your heart to reset.
He died on that cross for you just as for me, showed the evil of mans heart there at Calvary.
The truth came invading our time and our space, we nailed Him up high and revealed our disgrace.
The truth is the sword coming out of his mouth, to face it and hear is the end of all doubt.
Nobody can handle the light that He bears, submit to that glory you'll know that He cares.
While we we're still sinners you came to set free, the light undivided in love shines from thee.
So drop your defenses and look in His mirror, his law shows your heart to you painfully clearer.
Do not lie do not steal do not envy your neighbor, and that’s only three that will haunt you forever.
Just come as He wills, tell Him just who you are, in the light of his law you won't get very far.
If honesty shows you your full of disgrace, trust His divine love of mercy and grace.
He isn't like us for He gave His own life, to give us forgiveness when we gave Him strife.
I could write on forever bout our savior and Lord, His word lasts forever and strike a great chord.
He sees you and asks you to not be afraid, He loves you so much that your fine He has paid.
He knocks on the door of your heart and please hear me, I could not have imagined that God was so near me.
Once was lost now I'm found once was blind now I see, my Lord and my God 'the truth' may I serve thee.
