"Handcuffs and a Narrow Hallway" by James Kibby
Here are the lyrics.
Handcuffs and a narrow hallway
Piece together the past
Hope something there will bail you out
Mouth is dry, you feel like
Someone squeezed you like a sponge
With nothing to say you walk alone
As the hallway gets longer
And the walls feel their closing in
About to get what you had always coming
Consequence you try hard to avoid
Was it worth it all to have your fun?
Was it worth it all now your time has come?
Hear your name just like a hammer
Breaks the glass of your thoughts
No mercy's in the bailiff's voice
Other faces watching
Cannot see beyond your skin
With nothing to say you stand alone
As the ceiling grows higher
And defenses start wearing thin
I know it's easier in our youth
To feel we're invincible, invincible
It's not until these cold iron bars
That we start to see how frail we are
About to get what you had always coming
But what if someone took that place for you?
Would you honor him 'cause you are free?
Would you be the same?
Handcuffs and a narrow hallway
Piece together the past
Hope something there will bail you out
Mouth is dry, you feel like
Someone squeezed you like a sponge
With nothing to say you walk alone
As the hallway gets longer
And the walls feel their closing in
About to get what you had always coming
Consequence you try hard to avoid
Was it worth it all to have your fun?
Was it worth it all now your time has come?
Hear your name just like a hammer
Breaks the glass of your thoughts
No mercy's in the bailiff's voice
Other faces watching
Cannot see beyond your skin
With nothing to say you stand alone
As the ceiling grows higher
And defenses start wearing thin
I know it's easier in our youth
To feel we're invincible, invincible
It's not until these cold iron bars
That we start to see how frail we are
About to get what you had always coming
But what if someone took that place for you?
Would you honor him 'cause you are free?
Would you be the same?

Reading the Bible is much more than a to-do list or a self-help book. It is coming to the living and active Word of God to be transformed.
