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
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
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
He's King of kings
Lord of lords
I found Jesus on the jailhouse floor
