Perry And The Poor Boys - Ransom lyrics

There ain't never been a walk so lonesome Than the walk of a sinning man You can talk a smile, but all the while There ain't nobody to understand That for every laugh you've laughed There's been a dozen more times you've cried 'Cause the prison you're in is made of bricks of sin And you never know your inside Who will pay the ransom Who will pay the price Who's gonna pay for my freedom, O Lord And who's gonna pay for my life I was a poor sinner living in bondage Y'know it hurt so bad that I cried But then the Lord paid the Ransom with the blood Of Jesus Christ Well I know about the way of salvation And I thank the Lord I'm saved I try to thank Him every night before I fall asleep I try to thank Him at the break of day A million dollars couldn't buy me salvation I couldn't but it with the prayers I've prayed But the Lord bought it for me with the blood of His son Now He's taken all my sin away Who will pay the ransom Who will pay the price Who's gonna pay for my freedom, O Lord And who's gonna pay for my life I was a poor sinner living in bondage Y'know it hurt so bad that I cried But then the Lord paid the Ransom with the blood Of Jesus Christ He was scourged with metal scraps 'till His back was black with blood I saw streaks of red flow from the cuts on His head When they crowned Him with the crown of thorns They hung him naked on a cross They drove nails in His hands I saw tears in His eyes as they pierced His side And they left Him on the wood to bleed Jesus paid the ransom Jesus paid the price Jesus paid for my freedom, O Lord And Jesus paid for my life I was a poor sinner living in bondage Y'know it hurt so bad that I cried But then the Lord paid the Ransom with the blood Of Jesus Christ Yes they k**ed my Lord that Friday But I tell you what I know is true Jesus gave His life As a ransom for me and you Jesus paid the ransom Jesus paid the price Jesus paid for my freedom, O Lord And Jesus paid for my life I was a poor sinner living in bondage Y'know it hurt so bad that I cried But then the Lord paid the Ransom with the blood Of Jesus Christ
