By most accounts, George Jones (born George Glenn Jones September 12, 1931 in Saratoga, Texas, died April 26, 2013, in Nashville, Tennessee), was the finest vocalist in the recorded history of country music. Initially, he was a hardcore honky tonker in the tradition of Hank Williams, but over the course of his career he developed an affecting, nuanced ballad style. In the course of his career, he never left the top of the country charts, even as he suffered innumerable personal and professional difficulties.

He Made Me Free Recorded by George Jones Written by Darrell Edwards [3/4 time]
CG7CF I had drifted for so long with my life so full of wrong CG7 That the Lord should have turned His back on me CG7CF But He took the trembling hand of a lost and lonely man CG7CFC Broke the chains from mortal shame and made me free
G7FC Yes He took away the sin from my soul where it had been G7 And He helped my blinding eyes again to see CG7CF Yes and now I understand the beauty of salvation's plan CG7C Out on the cross You paid the cost and made me free
G7CF I had sunk so deep in shame never calling on His name CG7 All the joys of life had turned to misery CG7CF But then He gave me back control of my lost and wandering soul CG7CFC Removed the fears dried my tears and made me free
G7FC Yes He took away the sin that had stained me deep within G7 And He gave me back the fate that I might see CG7CF Now I'm so glad I understand the promise of salvation's plan CG7C Out on the cross You paid the cost and made me free
