I Found Jesus On The Jailhouse Floor

George Strait · Honkytonkville [MCA] [2003]

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.



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.



--- Instrumental ---



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.



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.



He's King of kings

Lord of lords

I found Jesus on the jailhouse floor...
