I remember when I was thirteen
|
I saw a picture on my T.V. screen
|
The Reverend Billy Graham and the people singing
|
Just As I Am And it felt like
|
You were talking to me
|
And the whole world seemed to fade away
|
Until I heard my mother say
|
"Son, are you okay? Do you wanna pray?"
|
And that became the hour I first believed
|
|
Chorus
|
Next thing you know I'm high and flyin'
|
Next thing you know My heart is in your hands
|
Next thing you know There's no denyin'
|
Next thing you know I'm a brand new man
|
|
Well, I wish I could say
|
I always stayed right there
|
And I did until my freshman year
|
But the world was pulling me a long way from thirteen
|
And you were calling but I didn't hear
|
Still I knew there was something more
|
So, one day my knees hit the dorm room floor
|
I said, "If you're there, and if you really care,
|
Come and talk to me like I was thirteen."
|
|
Chorus
|
|
Got a picture in my head today
|
of how heaven might look someday
|
I see the people there,
|
so I pull up a chair
|
And their stories, they blow me away
|
'Cause I can see it on every face
|
The evidence of grace
|
And as I listen it occurs to me
|
Everybody's got their own thirteen
|
|
So, what's your story about His glory?
|
You gotta find your place in the history of grace
|
Yeah, what's your story about His glory?
|
Come on and find your place
|
|
Chorus (x2)
