I was riding in my car one day
|
In the express lane rollin on the freeway
|
And suddenly the phone rings then I
|
Reached down beside me then i look
|
On the floor felt on the backseat
|
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
|
|
Doctor said don't think he 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 told me
|
If you promise to stop drinking
|
I surrendered on that day
|
Now for ten years i've been straight
|
|
You saved me [4x]
|
Gave me a second chance
|
You saved me [3x]
|
You saved me
|
|
Now i've been sitting in this chair
|
Waiting on the phone to ring
|
Praying up to God that someone will call
|
Me with a job opening
|
Cause it's been so hard for me
|
Month to month struggling to eat
|
But still there was no answer
|
I stop believing in his word and
|
Got so mad at him and
|
When somebody said God's good
|
I just laugh at 'em
|
|
But in the nick of time his blessing
|
Rain on me
|
By his grace the phone ring
|
A lady said were hiring and
|
That's when I knew
|
|
You saved me [4x]
|
|
Now i was 18 out there on the block
|
Selling drugs
|
With a gun at my waist
|
And for people I had no love
|
See the streets was my home
|
Family and friends were all gone
|
Had no one to trust
|
And deep inside i was all alone
|
And 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 pushin out my body
|
My heart's beating faster don't know what i'm gonna do
|
I don't think i'm gonna last then
|
I begain to flash back on the things
|
I done in my past
|
Then I heard a small voice that said
|
I'll give you peace if you believe
|
I accepted Christ that day
|
Halilujah now i'm free
|
|
You saved me [4x]
|
|
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 u got cancer
|
I could not beleive it so
|
I call my mama to calm my nerves
|
|
(mama) she got down on her knees
|
(mama) she said a prayer for me
|
(mama) just keep on thanking Jesus
|
(mama) he'll give you what you need
|
(thank you Jesus)
|
Now that was five years ago
|
I don't have that pain no more
|
Doc said you can go home
|
Cause all your cancer's gone
|
|
You saved me [4x]
|
|
You saved me (said you saved me)
|
You saved me (but you saved me)
|
You saved me saaaved me
|
Gave me a second chance (second chance)
|
Halilujah saved me
|
Saved me saved me
|
Wooooooh You saved me
|
|
You gave me it was by grace You saved me
|
I'm so thankful that You looked down on me
|
Saw me standing there
|
I was at the end of my rope no where to go
|
And you gave me
|
|
No where to go (and you saved me)
|
I was down and out 2
|
I was doing drugs 2
|
I was running the streets 2
|
Never felt love
|
I was wilding out
|
You saved me
|
You stepped in ooh save me
|
|
You saved me
|
