Many criminals, but one crime
One verdict, gonna do some time, and I said
One ruling to each one
One victim known as the son of

God
Jesus, Immanuel
Became a man just to pay my bail, and I said
The Prince of Peace
And the King of Kings
He taught me how to stop
Stop doing those things

He came to me in my cage
He came in love in the midst of my rage, and I said
He opened up the door to my cell
And gave the victory o'er the gates of Hell, and I said

Glory, glory, Jesus
You've loosed the chains from me
And when you died upon the cross
The wage of sin was then made so free
Lord you've taken the torture and the punishment that was mine
Oh, and you became the victim of my crime
The blessed son of

He taught me how to stop
