In Jail With Jesus

Alone one night
In shame and dispair;
Ilooked for my help
But no one was there.

No future....but prison
No past......but pain
I looked in the mirror
My tears fled like rain.

By justice condemend
My time to die;
My only help,God's mercy
For his grace did I cry.

Then a seed planted
Somewhere long ago
In the midst of my sorrow
Began to grow.

This seed was christ
Who died for me;
In jail with jesus
I am set free

No longer in the midst
Of my sinful ways;
He's made me a new person
Who loves and pray's.

Through seasons come
And holidays pass;
In jail with jesus
My hope does last.

So I do share
With you my friend;
In jail with jesus
It's not the end
