Jesus took the outlaw out of me praise God
He took my hand and led me out of darkness
All the things I thought I needed I don't care about no more
Since Jesus handed me the key that unlocks heaven's door
I once worked for the devil you know I played in his hand
I helped promote his heartache with a guitar in my hand
I laid down with his women took his pills and drank his booze
Reached the top of his kingdom then Jesus I found you
What a wonderful feeling since my Savior came in
To a heart that had never really known a true friend
All my sins are forgiven cast aside and left behind
Jesus gave me a new life and I'm gonna let it shine
Jesus took the outlaw out of me praise God
He took my hand and led me out of darkness
All the things I thought I needed I don't care about no more
Since Jesus handed me the key that unlocks heaven's door
Jesus took the outlaw out of me oh Lord
