Come back to the safety where you belong You prisoners of hope - return to your strongholds The king is still - the king is still on the throne Come captives and exiles- overwhelmed Attracted by the beauty of a distant realm Where the king is still - the king is still on the throne And we'll make our way back home For the king is still on the throne By these rivers in our imprisonments We won't hang up our stringed instruments For the king is still - the king is still on the throne Oh hasten the day - awaken the dawn Strengthened by the phrases of redemption's song The king is still - the king is still on the throne And we'll make our way back home For the king is still on the throne Though we're captives here today Daughter wipe those tears away We are prisoners of hope We are prisoners of hope And we'll make our way back home For the king is still on the throne And we'll make our way back home For the king is still on the throne
