Redemption’s Son - Joseph Arthur

I don’t know where we’ve been

Could you tell me where we are again?

And Jesus is my only friend

No one else knows who I am

I know I’ll never make it on the cross

Spent my days looking for what my daddy lost

He was too proud to have a boss

Sold himself out then he couldn’t afford the cost

No one knows how he felt

Hung himself in the county jail

There were those who said he would burn in hell

I don’t think they knew him very well

Angel of love

Shine a light on us

I was born to be

Redemption’s son

Angel of love

Shine a light on us

I was born to be

Redemption’s son

Forgive us for what we’ve done, Lord

Forgive us for what we’ve done

I don’t know were we are

Fearful eyes don’t see very far

Drivin' in my daddy’s car

Ashtray full of his cigars

Is it real what I see…

His ghost ridin' next to me?

'Till he’s gone I won’t be free

From the burden of his misery

I know I’ll never make it on the cross

Spent my days looking for what my daddy lost

He was too proud to have a boss

Sold himself out then he couldn’t afford the cost

All over the neighborhood

Mostly he was misunderstood

In his heart the bad beat the good

Used to be a time I’da killed him if I could

Angel of love

Shine a light on us

I was born to be

Redemption’s son

Angel of love

Shine a light on us

I was born to be

Redemption’s son

Forgive us for what we’ve done, Lord

Forgive us for what we’ve done, Lord

Forgive us for what we’ve done…
