from the songs album Honkytonkville
There once was a time when I was dead inside
I cussed the Lord for the day I was born
And prayed to the Devil to die
Just when I thought the Devil had won
Someone opened up the door
The King of kings
Lord of lords
I found Jesus on the jailhouse floor
Chorus:
Now, he broke the chains that bound me, and now I?m free
Today I?m right where Mama
Prayed I?d be
I?m down on my knees
Now I believe
What Mama knew for sure
He?s King of kings
Lord of lords
I found Jesus on the jailhouse floor
Now, if you?re in trouble friend, let me tell you what to do
I?ll tell you what he?s done for me
And I know what he?ll do for you
It makes no difference what you?ve done
You?ve a friend in the One that I adore
The King of kings
Lord of lords
I found Jesus on the jailhouse floor
Repeat Chorus
He?s King of kings
Lord of lords
I found Jesus on the jailhouse floor
