Greystone Chapel · letra

"Thank you very much. This next song was written by a man right here in Folsom Prison. And last night was the first time I ever sung this song. Anyway, this song was written by our friend Glenn Shirley, and... (applause) I hope I do your song justice, Glenn. We'll do our best..."

Chorus

Inside the walls of prison my body may be But my Lord has set my soul free

Verse 1

There's a grey stone chapel here at Folsom A house of worship in this den of sin You wouldn't think that God had a place here at Folsom But he saved the soul of many lost men Now this grey stone chapel here at Folsom Stands a hundred years old made of granite rock It takes a ring of keys to move here at Folsom But the door to the house of God is never locked

Chorus

Inside the walls of prison my body may be But my Lord has set my soul free

Verse 2

There are men here that don't ever worship There are men here who scoff at the ones who pray But I've got down on my knees in that grey stone chapel And I've thanked the Lord for helping me each day Now this grey stone chapel here at Folsom It has a touch of God's hand on every stone It's a flower of light in a field of darkness And it's given me the strength to carry on

Chorus

Inside the walls of prison my body may be But my Lord has set my soul free
