The Letter

I went to jail
                            Yo I couldn't make bail
                             My life went off the rail
                             Til I got a letter in the mail

                             I stole a truck you see
                             Got caught when I tried to flee
                              My life always sucked
                              Yet God wanted me out of the muck

                             The letter said God loves me
                             With all my mess ups that can't be
                             In my heart I knew this was God's plea
                              Seek and ye shall find, I will set you free
                              Signed God the Father, God the Son
                              God the Holy Spirit
                               All three

                              So I asked the Lord into my heart come in
                               He forgave me of my sin
                              Sure my consequences would begin
                               But He changed me from within
                               Now my life with His help will be a win
                                              Win
