I Found Jesus On The Jailhouse Floor Lyrics

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

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

Repeat Chorus

He’s King of kings
Lord of lords
I found Jesus on the jailhouse floor

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
