[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus 2]
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
[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

[Outro]
He's king of kings, lord of lords
I found Jesus on the jailhouse floor
