Lyrics
love sets us free
Johnny grew up in a dark cold place
Where love was a commodity that was always rare
His head in a pillow with tears in his eyes
And his hands put together asking God why
Johnny didn't grow up going to sunday school
Johnny grew up going to the pub on a sunday to listen to the blues
He was only thirteen when he was told what to do
He was told, "You determine who you are so go do what you have to do"
When Johnny turned twenty he started singing songs
He started his career out on the road and singing in some bars
Girls came and went, drugs gave him highs
But deep down inside He knew there was more to this life
Love,love sets us free
Love,love sets us free
Love,love sets us free
Love,love sets us free
Early one morning after one of those nights
He went down to the drugs store buy some headache killing drugs
Out on the sidewalk in front of his eyes
Stood a pretty girl preaching bout Jesus Christ
He thought, maybe if i play along i will catch her eye
So he agreed to everything she said and And shouted Jesus is Lord
Well she came by, they spoke for a while and they became friends
They would talk late at night bout Jesus Christ and Him being the King of King
Love,love sets us free
Love,love sets us free
Love,love sets us free
Love,love sets us free
Well this girl bought the lie, and fell for Johnny's lies
And they fell in love, but this story just doesn't end like that
They walked down the isle, and they started a new life
Six years later in the news, rockstar nearly kills his wife
Johnny on the stage was the star of the show
Mean while back at home, Jesus wasn't even known at all
He'd beat his wife and cheat with other girls
This woman didn't know what Johnny was doing to their new world
Love,love sets us free
Love,love sets us free
Love,love sets us free
Love,love sets us free
Then one day while johhny was doing drugs
He drove his car into a stationary truck
He woke up the next morning with his woman by his side
He asked himself, after what i have put her through she's still here by my side
She took His hands and looked him straight in the eye
She said, Johnny i still love you no matter what, no matter how
This broke his heart, he began to cry
This was the first time, Love really touched his heart
Love,love sets us free
Love,love sets us free
Love,love sets us free
Love,love sets us free
Still with those tears, in his blood shot eyes
He looked at her and asked her, Baby why?
She said, I was given a second chance through Jesus Christ
So what he has done for me, i will do for the one's i love
Well if you see Johhny today you wouldn't believe the change
That this boy who grew in a dark place, has met unfailing love
Johnny met Jesus on his hospital bed as Jesus looked him in the eye
Johhny is now in love with Jesus Christ and no longer beats or cheats on his wife
Love,love sets us free
Love,love sets us free
Love,love sets us free
Love,love sets us free
