U Saved Me

Lyrics

[Verse 1] We were riding in my car one day (oh) in the express lane rolling down the freeway And suddenly, the phone rings, then I reached down beside me Then I looked on the floor, looked on the back seat See he was drinking, while he was driving Never thinking bout what he was doing I turned around, and before I knew it, here comes this truck now The doctor said, "I don't think he's gonna make it" Family said, "Make the funeral arrangements" Unplug the machine, he's gone now Then he told us all to be strong now Then a small voice said unto him "If you promise to stop drinking" He surrendered on that day, and for 10 years, he's been straight [Chorus] You saved me (woah), 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 [Verse 2] Now I've been sitting in the 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 When somebody say God's good, I just laugh at them (oh, yeah) And in the nick of time, His blessing rained on me By His grace, the phone rang, a lady said "We are hiring" And that's when I knew [Chorus] You saved me (saved), 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 [Verse 3: Pastor Ruby Experience] Now I was 18 out on the block selling drugs with a gun at my waist And for people, 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 4 times, and before I knew it, I was on my knees (Blood gushing out my body, my heart's beatin' fast I don't know what I'ma do, I don't think I'm gonna last) Then I began to flash back on the thing 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 [Chorus] You saved me(saved) 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 [Verse 4] 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 you got cancer" I could not believe it, so I called up my mama to calm my nerve (Mama) She got down on her knees (Mama) She said a prayer for me (Mama) Said "Just keep on thanking Jesus" (Mama) "He'll give you all you need" That was five years ago, don't have that pain no more Doc says, "You can go home 'cause all your cancer's gone" [Chorus] You saved me (said 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
