They
came within the hall in state
With
all the pomp and power accrued
By
those the world considers great.
Yet
happy in their presence stood
A
man in bonds.
What
caused the happiness of Paul?
He
was the freest there because
Each
other soul within that hall
Under
sin’s awesome burden was
A
man in bonds.
Moved
by the Saviour to repent
And
finding Christ as his reward
Paul
could be happy and content
To
be, as “prisoner in the Lord”,
A
man in bonds.
Awesome.
