the down-trodden, the marginalized



Release for the captives
freedom for the prisoners
in whatever prison
the chains of this life
good news for the poor
the down-trodden,
the marginalized
a Savior descended
sent into the world
to lift up His people
those under oppression
to raise up a hope
a light within them
freed from their captivity
their shackles opening
falling to the ground
rising with Him
