This is a story about a badman
Who when he heard the voice of the preacher
He came crying to the altar
It guh soh

Him had a rugged childhood
They say he's no good
Because he comes from a real tough neighbourhood
They say he has no soul
And his blood is so clod
And half his story has never been told
With blood on his shirt
As he passed he heard
The preacher belting out the word
When he stepped inside
Everyone one was surprise
Then he spoke and all angels rejoice

Every time I hear the preacher preach
It brings tears to my eyes
I need someone to deliver me
From this old wretched life
Now as I kneel at this altar
I'm here to answer the call
Jesus Christ is Lord
And to Him I surrender all

Couldn't believe a King
Couldn't give up everything
Crucified on a cross and died for him
Heart tough like stone
Man bad to the bone
Like Scarface and Alcapone
But him start believe
When him hear words like these
That Christ was crucified between two thieves
And that he died on a tree
To set a murderer free
And he said something moved deep inside of me

Every time I hear the preacher preach
It brings tears to my eyes
I need someone to deliver me
From this old wretched life
Now as I kneel at this altar
I'm here to answer the call
Jesus Christ is Lord
And to Him I surrender all

Like furnace melting steel
That's what he reveal
Confessing that the devil give a raw deal
Back against the rope and he has no hope
With that lifestyle he could no longer cope
Not knowing when it would end
It could be done by a friend
As easy as you count from one to ten
But the Light I've seen
Through Christ I redeemed
From my sins He has washed and made me clean

Every time I hear the preacher preach
It brings tears to my eyes
I need someone to deliver me
From this old wretched life
Now as I kneel at this altar
I'm here to answer the call
Jesus Christ is Lord
And to Him I surrender all

Every time I hear the preacher preach
It brings tears to my eyes
I need someone to deliver me
From this old wretched life
Now as I kneel at this altar
I'm here to answer the call
Jesus Christ is Lord
And to Him I surrender all

Every knee shall bow
Every tongue shall confess
Jesus Christ is Lord

Every knee shall bow
Every tongue shall confess
Jesus Christ is Lord

And every time I hear the preacher preach
It brings tears to my eyes, yeah
