This is a story about a bad man
Who when he heard the word of God from the preacher
He came crying to the altar
It goes so
Him had a rugged childhood, they say he's no good
Because he comes from a real tough neighborhood
They say he has no soul, and his blood is so cold
And half his story has never been told
With blood on his shirt, as he passed he heard
The preacher belting out the word
Then he stepped inside, everyone was surprised
Then he spoke and all angels rejoiced
Every time I hear the preacher preach
It brings tears to my eyes, yeah
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 could give up everything
Crucified on a cross and die for him
Heart tough like stone, man bad to the bone
Like Scarface and Al Capone
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, yeah
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 gave 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 now the light I've seen, through Christ I'm redeemed
And from my sins He has washed and made me clean
Every time I hear the preacher preach
It brings tears to my eyes, yeah
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, yeah
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, yeah, hey, hey
Every knee shall bow, every tongue shall confess
Jesus Christ is Lord, yeah
And every time I hear the preacher preach
