Many of us deeply desire to feel close to others and to serve them, especially family members. However, some are unable to do so because of being bound in some kind of prison. One of these prisons is unforgiveness. The sad thing is that too many of us are unaware that this is the cause of the bondage and just go on living without understanding why we are unable to be available to those we love. If this dilemma is yours we hope the lyrics of this song will help you be set free by “The Visitor” who holds the key to that prison The Key I cannot tell you how I was hurt But I’ll tell you I’ve had some tears I cannot tell you who it was That turned my trust into fears But I took the pieces of my broken heart And I built some prison walls There I’ve held that offender for years And this is what I thought “He’ll never know, never know no freedom As long as I live, I’ll never give, never give him freedom I’ll never, never give him freedom.” But then one day the visitor came To this prison in my heart He said, “You ought to know the truth about The one behind the bars… Yes he’s weak and he’s weary He has not smiled in years And you have been successful At keeping his eyes filled with tears But oh how he longs for his freedom These words are the key They first came from ‘Father forgive them’ Come let me show you how to use them.” “Now don’t you know the offender Is rarely the one in pain Instead the one who will not forgive Is the one who wears the chains.” So I opened up the prison door I used forgiveness as the key And when I let that prisoner go I found that it was me Oh how sweet is the freedom And it came on the day When my heart prayed, “Father, forgive them Father, forgive them… Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots. Luke 23:34 KJV
