It's Never Too Late

In a lonely old prison, about a mile out of town
A preacher was leavin after making his rounds
When an old man did stop him, standing in the last cell
Saying preacher please listen, I have a story to tell.

He said I once loved a lady, back when I was young
We ended up married and blessed with a son
But she proved unfaithful and I lost control
On the night that I killed her I gave the devil my soul.

I know I'm not worthy, but how do I go
To the great place called Heaven, on that bright crystal shore
I wanna meet Jesus and look on His face
Oh preacher please tell me...is it too late.

The preacher took out his Bible, turned to John 3:16
Told the man that God loved him and got on his knees
The man found forgiveness, after years of the pain
Then he turned to the preacher and these words did say.

I know I'm not worthy, but I'm gonna go
To the great place called Heaven on that bright crystal shore
I'm gonna meet Jesus and look on His face
Praise the Lord that I found Him, it's never too late.

Praise the Lord that I found Him, it's never too late.
