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

Why did you break me? Tell me how could you do that . When I screamed out loud You brought down, then you fell hard You fell to the ground I walked away from the hole it's in me You sent me in the cold, but I saved me I left my beat all alone, it's in me Down with failure, I found my home at last! No more sad tears, I had a dream The flame that keeps everything in the clear! I walked away from the hole it's in me You sent me in the cold, but I saved me I left my beat all alone, it's in me Down with failure, I found my home at last! I walked away from the hole it's in me You sent me in the cold, but I saved me I left my beat all alone, it's in me Down with failure, I found my home at last!
