Ransom — текст песни (Perry and The Poor Boys)

There ain`t never been a walk so lonesome
Then 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`re 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 you`re inside

(Chorus)

Who will pay the ransom?
Who will pay the price?
Who`s gonna pay for my freedom, oh Lord?
Who`s gonna pay for my life?
I as 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 go to sleep
I try to thank Him at the break of day
A million dollars couldn`t buy me Salvation
I couldn`t buy 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

(Chorus)

He was scourged with metal scraps
Until 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 the cross
They drove nails in His hands
I saw tears in His eyes
As they pierced His side
Then they left Him on the wood to bleed

(Chorus)

Yes, they killed my Lord that Friday
But I tell you what I know is true
Jesus gave His life
As a ransom for me and you
