The Sinner and the Son
I have come to know Jesus Christ, is the Begotten Son
I have come to know in my heart, he is the chosen one
In my life I have been, what a man should never be
It was the Lord Jesus Christ that came to set me free
I was locked up inside a cell, so deep inside of a hole
It had been years since I had thought about my soul
I have spilled so much blood, lived in so much doubt
That I had totally lost all sight, of what I was all about
Wearing the Brand of my Prison Gang, an oath taken for life
I swore that I would hold my Gang above my Lord and Wife
But then Jesus kissed my heart, and his love set me free
As he planted deep inside my mind, the seed of Poetry
I try to use my poetry, to teach others there is another way
It doesn’t matter what you’ve been, if Jesus guides your day
Through his love I was able to change my entire life
Was the thing I had to do to hold the love of my wife
So if you think I’m nice guy, then I beseech you to think again
For I have walked with the coldest stroll, through the darkest sin
I am just a simple man, at least that’s all I ever wanted to be
I am just a simple servant; the Lord Jesus Christ is using me
To this very day serious threats are made against my life
Homeboys want to remove my brand, with a red-hot knife
Because everyday I wear this brand, others can clearly see
Even from the worst of Prison Gangs, a soul can be set free
I am bound to the pits of hell, to that fact I have no doubt
One day me and those I once loved are going have it out
On that day watch the news, for you will be able to clearly see
As a servant of the Lord Jesus Christ, I will take evil men with me
It’s not often that I speak of this, and never again in life will I
But by the blood of the lamb, I am more than prepared to die
So before you ever question my faith, know these words are true
I earned every single drop of it, by the hell I have walked through
