i found jesus on the jailhouse floor

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

he's king of kings

lord of lords

i found jesus on the jailhouse floor
