I was riding in my car one day (oh)
|
In the express lane rolling down the freeway
|
And suddenly the phone rings
|
Then I reached down beside me
|
Then I looked on the floor felt on the back seat
|
See I was drinking while I was driving
|
Never thinking bout what I was doing
|
I turned around and before I knew it
|
Here comes this truck now
|
The doctor said I don’t think he’s gonna make it
|
Family said make the funeral arrangements
|
Unplug the machine he’s gone now
|
then told my wife to be strong now
|
then a small voice said on to me
|
if you promise to stop drinking
|
I surrendered on that day
|
And for 10 years I’ve been straight
|
|
Chorus:
|
You saved me(woah) You saved me.
|
You saved me, You saved me, gave me a second chance
|
You saved me, You saved me
|
You saved me, You saved me
|
|
Now I’ve been sitting in the chair
|
waiting on the phone to ring
|
Praying up to God that someone would call me with a job opening
|
Cause its been so hard for me month to month
|
Struggling to eat but still there was no answer(no answer)
|
I stopped believing in his word And got so mad at him
|
When somebody say Gods good I just laugh at them(oh yeah)
|
And in the nick of time his blessing rained on me
|
By his grace the phone ring a lady says were hiring
|
And that’s when I knew
|
|
Chorus:
|
You saved me(saved) You saved me.
|
You saved me, You saved me, gave me a second chance
|
You saved me, You saved me
|
You saved me, You saved me
|
|
Now I was 18 out on the block selling drugs
|
With a gun at my waist And for people had no love
|
See the streets was my home and family and friends were gone
|
Had no one to trust and deep inside I was all alone
|
And then a deal went bad one day and it was enough to pause me
|
I was shot 4 times and before I knew it I was on my knees
|
(Blood gushing out my body my hearts beatin fast
|
I don’t know what I’m a do I don’t think I’m gonna last)
|
Then I began to flash back on the pains I’ve done in my past
|
(Then I heard a small voice that said to me I’ll give you peace if u believe)
|
I accepted Christ that day hallelujah now I’m free
|
|
Chorus:
|
You saved me(saved) You saved me.
|
You saved me, You saved me, gave me a second chance
|
You saved me, You saved me (and i wanna thank, thank you thank you)
|
You saved me, You saved me
|
|
I was in the aisle of the grocery store
|
With a pain in my chest and I’m wondering where did it come from
|
(I got tested)and the results came back and the doctor said I’m sorry but you got cancer
|
I could not believe it so I called up my mama to calm my nerves
|
(mama)she got down on her knees (mama)she said a prayer for me
|
(mama) said just keep on thanking Jesus (mama)he’ll give you all you need (thank you jesus)
|
That was five years ago (thank you jesus) don’t have that pain no more (thank you jesus)
|
Doc says you can go home cause all your caners gone
|
|
Chorus:
|
You saved me(sad you saved me) You saved me.
|
You saved me, You saved me, gave me a second chance
|
You saved me, You saved me
|
You saved me, You saved me
|
|
|
when i was going left
|
you steered me right
|
was all the way down
|
you lift me up and down
|
and though you saw my thoughts
|
you "forgave me for my sins?"
|
i would call on you
|
i had nothin to loose
|
and so i tried you
|
and now i'm glad i did
|
cause you are the truth
|
|
|
Chorus(2x)
|
i'm so thankful that
|
you looked down on me(looked down on me)
|
saw me standing there(hey)
|
i was at the end of my rope
|
with no where to go
|
|
i was down and out til you(you saved me)
|
i was doing drugs til you(you saved me)
|
i runnin the streets til you(you saved me)
|
never felt love til you(you saved me )
|
|
i gang bangin til you(you saved me)
|
wilding out til you(you saved me)
|
in my dying bed til you stepped in
|
ooooooh
|
whew!
|
|
repeat several times
|
you saved me(fades out)
|
