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
