In My House

lyrics

in my house
there's
tea
biscuits
coffee
no alcohol
no drugs
no betting slips
no whores in the back room
but just a bible
and a prayer book
and a song in my heart
I was in the gutter
I was in the gutter
at the tube station
begging for bread
but that's where god found me
begging for bread
now I have a kitchen
and I eat steak
cooked by my wife's bare hands
but when I was there out in the street
I got the crumbs
under the table
but I don't get crumbs under the table
I break the bread and drink the wine
at the holy communion table
to remember where my Jesus died
to save my soul
and some people say
why am I so vehement
why am I so passionate
about my faith
when you have died three times
from overdose
and been revived
when you've been locked up in prison so many times
you couldn't find the way out
when Jehus
the Lamb of God
who shed his blood
on the cross 2000 years ago
can save a wretch like me
I'm gonna sing
I'm gonna dance
I'm gonna shout
joyous, happy and free
because Jehus
saved me
the devil thought he had me
till I died
but Jesus wake me up
what did Jesus say?
I am
the ressurrection
and the light
he who believes in me will never die
