The church doors were open, so the small town could hear
The sound of the gospel, that's when Jimmy appeared
Released from man's prison, his sentence was served
Felt a nudge on his heart, that led him to church
If they knew his story, would they ask him to go
They sang of forgiveness, and welcomed Jimmy home
Later that evening, an invitation was made
Every eye on Jimmy, as he walked down to pray
They all gathered round him, as the spirit led Jimmy down the aisle, and he slowly bowed his head
Hallelujahs rang out, and his hope was restored
Tears fell like rain, when his knees hit the floor
A Son of redemption, a prisoner no more
We're reminded how far mercy reaches
The night Jimmy trusted Jesus
One step towards Jesus, and his chains hit the ground
Heaven rejoiced, how sweet was the sound
Hallelujahs rang out, and his hope was restored
Tears fell like rain, when his knees hit the floor
Son of redemption, a prisoner no more
We're reminded how far mercy reaches
The night Jimmy trusted Jesus
A Son of redemption, a prisoner no more
We're reminded how far mercy reaches
The night Jimmy trusted Jesus
