When I was dead inside
I cursed 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

When I was dead inside
I cursed the Lord for the day I was born
