Jailbird Lyrics

I was sitting there when they call the next case

In walk a man bound in chains tears rolling down his face

Judge said

You been found guilty son

Your gonna be sentence today

Have you any thing to say

Before they carry you away

He said

I'm just a jailbird

Aint much to tell

Been in trouble with the law

Since the day I was 12

You know what

I meet a man name jesus today

He save me and for gave me

I just wanna lift my voice

And praise him while I'm able

And he cried

Go in the name of jesus

He is my redeemer

I will never be the same

He save my soul he sign my name

I will lift him up forever

Sun shine stormy weather

I got a right to praise his name church even a jailbird

Early one sunday morning

It was dark and it was cold

An angel stood up on death row to receive the dead man soul

Somebody shouted on the cell block

Old jailbird finally got his wings

They can hear the sounds of church bells

I was just another jailbird

Sitting right there in my on cell

Waiting on the devil to come

To take me to a burning hell

Then the angel of the lord appeared

With power in his hand

Saying fear not old jailbird

I'm going to take you to a better land

You don't have to be afraid

To give the lord your life today

He'll mind all scatter pieces

Just remember

The word of god is real

Jesus own the potter field

And every broken vessel

Glory to the name of jesus

He is lord my redeemer

I will never be the same

He save my soul and sign my name

I will lift him up forever

Sun shine stormy weather

I got a right to praise his name

Even the jailbird

Sing glory to the name of jesus

He is lord my redeemer

I will never be the same

He save my soul and he sign my name

I will lift him up forever

Sunshine stormy weather

I got a right to praise his name

Even the jailbird sing
