SONG:You Saved Me

I was driving in my car one day
in the expresslane
rolling down the freeway
and then suddenly the phone rings
then i stretched down beside me
then i looked on the floor, then on the backseat
see i was drinking
while i was driving
never thinking
what i was doing
i turned around
and before i knew it
here comes this truck now...
The doctors said i was never gonna make it
family wanted to make the proper arrangements
unplug the machine he's a goner
then told my wife to be stronger
then a small voice said unto me
if you promise to stop drinking
i surrendered on that day
never drinking since i've been saved
You saved me, you saved me x3
I've been sitting in this chair
waiting on the phone to ring
praying up to god
someone would call me with a job opening
cuz it's been so hard for me, month to month
struggling to eat, but still there was no answer
i stopped believing in his word not to matter
and when somebody said god's good
i just laughed at them more then
in the nick of time he's blessed his dream on me
by his grace, the phone rang
a lady said we're hiring
and that's when i knew..
he saved me
he saved me
you saved me, you saved me
you saved me, you saved me
I was 18 out on the block selling drugs
with a gun in my waist, it was before i had no love
see the streets was my homey
family and friends were gone
i 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
pushing on my body, my hearts beating faster
i don't know what i'm gonna do, i'm not gonna last it
then i began to flashback on the things i've done in my past
then a small voice 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
you saved me, you saved me
As i was at the grocery store
there was a pain in my chest and i was 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 thankin jesus
he'll give you all you need (thank you jesus)
but that was 5 year ago
i don't have that pain no more
doc said you can go home
cuz all the cancer's gone
You saved me, you saved me
you saved me, you saved me
you saved me, you saved me
you saved me, you saved me
Hallelujah
You saved me, you saved me
you saved me, you saved me
It was grace that you saved me
I'm so thankful
that you looked down on me
You saved me
(repeat to end)
