U Saved Me

Lyrics

True stories (what)
 Miracles (what)
 True blessings (what)
 All because of love
 True stories (what)
 Miracles (what)
 True blessings (what)
 I was riding in my car one day
 In the express lane rolling on the freeway
 And suddenly the phone rings
 Then I reached down beside me
 Then I looked on the floor, felt on the back seats
 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 dont think he's gonna to 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 unto me
 If you promise to stop drinking
 I surrendered on that day
 And now for ten years I've been straight
 You saved me, you saved me
 You saved me, you saved me (thank you Jesus)
 Gave me a second chance, you saved me (thank you Jesus)
 You saved me, you saved me
 You saved me
 Now I've been sitting in this chair
 Waiting on the phone to ring
 Praying up to God that someone would 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 (no answer)
 I stopped believing in his word and got so mad at him
 And when somebody say God's good I just laugh at them (oh yeah)
 And in the nick of time his blessings rained on me
 By his grace the phone ring a lady says were hiring
 And that's when I knew he saved me
 You saved me, you saved me (he saved me)
 You saved me, gave me a second chance (thank you Jesus)
 You saved me, you saved me, you saved me (thank you Jesus)
 You saved me
 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 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 four times and before I knew it I was on my knees
 Blood gushing out my body my heart's beating fast
 I don't know what I'mma, I don't think I'm gonna last
 Then I began to flash back on the things I've done in my past
 Then I heard a small voice that said to me "I'll give you peace if you believe"
 I accepted Christ that day hallelujah now I'm free!
 You saved me, you saved me
 You saved me, you saved me, gave me a second chance
 You saved me, you saved me (thank you, thank you)
 You saved me, you saved me
 You saved me
 I was in the aisle of the grocery store
 With pain in my chest and I'm wondering where did it come from
 Got tested and the results came back
 And the doctor said "I'm sorry but you've got cancer"
 I could not believe it so I called up my momma to calm my nerves
 (Momma) she got down on her knees
 (Momma) she said a prayer for me
 (Momma) said just keep on thanking Jesus
 (Momma) "And He'll give you all you need" (thank you Jesus)
 Now that was five years ago (thank you Jesus)
 Don't have that pain no more (thank you Jesus)
 Doc said "You can go home cause all your cancer's gone!" (thank you Jesus)
 You saved me, you saved me
 You saved me, you saved me, gave me a second chance (I am so glad)
 You saved me, you saved me, you saved me (just when I was going left)
 You saved me
 When I was going left you just turned me right
 Goes all the way down you lift me up all night
 And though you saw my faults
 You forgave me for my sins
 And I would call on you
 Then you just let me live
 I had nothing to lose
 You saw I tried you
 And now I'm planted
 'Cause you are the truth
 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 (hallelujah)
 You saved me, you saved me
 You saved me, you saved me
 Gave me a second chance, you saved me (it was by grace that 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
 With nowhere to go then you gave me (a second chance)
 I was down and out 'til you saved me (yes I was)
 I was doing drugs 'til you saved me (yes I was)
 I was running these streets 'til (you saved me)
 Never felt love 'til (you saved me)
 I was gang bangin 'til (you saved me)
 Wildin out 'til (you saved me)
 On my dying bed (yeah) 'til you stepped in
