There once was a time   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
