You Saved Me lyrics

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

family said make the funeral arrangements
unplugg the machine he's gone now
then told my wife to be strong now
then a small voice said until me
if you promise to stop drinking

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 beleiving 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 donc
