LYRICS:
Verse 1:
I was born in sins penitentiary/
Enslaved to evil- this condemned and sentenced me/
Locked in a cell block, Id act wickedly in captivity/
While watching myself rot born with a death sentence/
Warned to neglect repentance by my Lord who expressed vengeance/
By deceiving my mind and keeping me blind/
And convincing me that evil was fine/
His name is Lucifer, he was my slave master/
He said to hate God and screamed with great laughter/
He ruled this prison of sin, my vision was dim/
He told me what to do and Id listen to him/
I was depraved and arrogant- an accursed transgressor/
My ways inherited- from my first ancestors/
Trapped in my sinful habitation/
I was into masturbation, and it kindled aggravation/
But I loved the darkness of my cell/
Plus my lungs were heartless, and this sluggards carcass had a smell/
An unbearable stench/
Disgusting and vile, my lusting was wild, with some terrible wench/
A praiser of wickedness, my behavior was mischievous/
Craving sin-enslaved to my sicknesses/
Much inclined to muck and slime/
And crust and grime I has such a disgusting mind/
Sinning was fluid, swimming in sewage/
Lucifer fed me his stew Id drink and then spew it/
I often coughed and had constant red eye/
Spiritually talkin I was a walkin dead guy/
Cause the Law hung over me as a guillotine/
Really mean, and thrilled to sin, I was still a fiend/
Many times a man came to my cell/
To ask me if I wanted someone to save me from Hell/
But Id slap him in the face, and laugh at this grace/
Cause it so happened that I was trapped in this place/
I was content in sin, I disregarded that I couldnt be pardoned/
From my sentencing so I slept heavily-the best remedy/
In neglecting the fact I faced a death penalty/
Then came my day of execution/
It was time to die but I couldnt pay the retribution!!!
Verse 2
I was a detestable prisoner, an ineffective listener/
Than I had an unexpected Visitor/
And this was frightening, cause I was trifling/
Then came the Spirit of Christ the Righteous King/
A shining light came on inside of my cell/
Revealing my sinful condition, I cried and I yelled/
God forgive me, rescue me from deaths despair/
Dont execute me in the electric chair!/
But then I was embraced- by His love and truth/
He said He died in my place-as my substitute/
I couldnt fathom His charity, so I asked Him clarity/
He actually sat in the chair for me/
He took the violent wrath on my behalf/
So I could have life and be alive at last!/
My first reply, was but Youre a perfect Guy/
You never cursed or lied, you didnt deserve to die/
But He said He wanted to because He made a covenant/
To save His people so they wouldnt face His punishment/
So I hugged and thanked Him, His robe was all red/
He said He proved all this was true because He rose from the dead/
Now my charges were dropped/
He gave me faith when He replaced my heart because it was as hard as a rock/
He broke my shackles, now my visions clear/
I was given ears, He removed my filthy prison gear/
And proceeded to put it on the shelf/
My death sentence was dropped when He took it upon Himself/
Then He dressed me in His perfect righteousness/
The nicest gift, yes I was hype from this!/
He told me He freed me for a purpose, Tim/
To conform me to His image, and serve and worship Him/
Then I fell on my face Ill tell of Your ways/
And proclaim you save sinners by indelible grace/
I savor this pleasure, Youre the greatest of treasures/
Jesus Christ- I cant wait to praise You forever/
But then Lucifer tried to keep me from leavin/
But Jesus crushed His head and defeated His demons/
We bounced from the prison, He announced Im forgiven/
I was dead in that place, now Im out and Im livin/
And I shout: HE IS RISEN! for hours abroad/
Ive been freed by the Gospel which is the Power of God/
Then He said He must return to His Fathers side/
I started crying, so He said be calm, youre fine/
Because His Holy Spirit will guide my steps/
He promised Hed keep me until my final breath/
I now await the return of the Sovereign Lamb/
To take me to worship Him in the promised land/
This parables a metaphorical analogy/
Of a terrible but then adorable reality.
And Im praising Jesus, cause He redeemed and freed me when I was enslaved in Egypt (2x)
I agree with you, but must we call each other black brother, or white brother? We are all blood bought, WE ARE ALL WHITE! WHITE AS SNOW NOW MAN! Who cares about racial differences, we have a savior who died for us and cleaned us, made us whiter than snow!
