All because I love
True stories
Miracles
True blessings
I was riding in my car one day
In the express lane
Rolling on the freeway
And suddenly the phone rings
And then I reached down beside me
Then I looked on the floor
Felt on the backseat
See I was drinking
While I was driving
Never thinking
About 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 going 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
Now for ten years I been straight
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
Now I 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
I stopped believing in his word
And got so mad at him
And when somebody said God's good
I just laugh at him
And in the nick of time
his blessings rained on me
By his grace the phone rings
A lady says We're hiring
That's when I knew
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
Now I was 18 out there
On the block sending 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 rushing down my body
My hearts beating fast
I don't know what imam do
I don't think I'm going to last
Then I begin to flashback
On the things I done in my past
Then I heard a small voice
the said to me
I'll give you peace if you believe
I accepted Christ that day
Halleluiah 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
You saved me
You saved me
I was in the aisle of
a 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
She got down on her knees
She said a prayer for me
She said just keep
on thanking Jesus
She'll give you
all you need
But 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
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 goin left
You stirred me right
Its all the way down
You lift me up all night
And though you saw my faults
You forgave me for my sins
I would call on you
and you would let me in
I had nothing to loose
So I tried you
Now I'm glad I did
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
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
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
You saved me
You saved me
You saved me
Gave me a second chance
You saved me
You saved me
You saved me
