Next Thing You Know

Lyrics

[Intro] Tell me when [Verse 1] I remember when I was thirteen I saw a picture on my TV screen The Reverend Billy Graham and the people singing "Just As I Am" And it felt like You were talking to me And the whole world seemed to fade away Until I heard my mother say "Son, are you okay? Do you wanna pray?" And that became the hour I first believed [Chorus] Next thing you know I'm high and flyin' Next thing you know My heart is in Your hands Next thing you know There's no denyin' Next thing you know I'm a brand-new man [Verse 2] Well, I wish I could say I always stayed right there And I did until my freshman year But the world was pulling me a long way from thirteen And You were calling, but I didn't hear Still, I knew there was something more So one day my knees hit the dorm room floor I said, "If You're there, and if You really care Come and talk to me like I was thirteen" [Chorus] And next thing you know I'm high and flyin' Next thing you know My heart is in Your hands (Yeah) Oh, next thing you know There's no denyin' Next thing you know I'm a brand-new man [Post-Chorus] Everybody say La-la-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la-la-la [Verse 3] I got a picture in my head today Of how heaven might look someday I see the people there, so I pull up a chair And their stories, they blow me away 'Cause I can see it on every face The evidence of grace And as I listen it occurs to me Everybody's got their own thirteen [Bridge] So, what's your story about His glory? You gotta find your place in the history of grace Yeah, what's your story about His glory? Come on and find your place [Chorus] Next thing you know, yeah I'm high and flyin' Next thing you know My heart is in Your hands Next thing you know There's no denyin' (Yeah) Next thing you know I'm a brand-new man Next thing you know, yeah I'm high and flyin' Next thing you know, yeah My heart is in Your hands Next thing you know There's no denyin' Yeah, next thing you know I'm a brand-new man [Outro] Say la-la-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la-la-la Next thing you know La-la-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la-la-la Say la-la-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la-la-la
