(The Incarcerated) A Better Man Lyrics

A cruel cargo captain adrift and lost at sea

His living made on the trade of slave humanity

Falling to his knees crying 'what a wretch I am'

He met Jesus and became - a better man

A runaway a throwaway a messed up troubled kid

The judge gave him 15 hard for all the junk he did

Behind those walls and bars was shared a rescue plan

He met Jesus and became - a better man

They're not perfect just forgiven

Followers instead of driven

Learning how to truly give instead of take

For the sin that binds the soul

Has relinquished its control

As a sinless lamb was offered for their sake

A parents' pride - this 'too good to be true' boy

Thought that life was 'bout reaching for that new toy

Just before his addiction made one last demand

He met Jesus and became - a better man

We're not perfect just forgiven

Followers instead of driven

Learning how to truly give instead of take

For the sin that binds the soul

Has relinquished its control

As a sinless lamb was offered for our sake

If you're finally ready to break your cycle of defeat

And you refuse to let the devil hit "rinse and repeat"

If you're ready to man - up it's time to raise a hand

and say: Jesus I need you to make - a better man

a better man a better man
