Lyrics

[00:00.50] True Stories (what)
[00:03.58] Miracles (What)
[00:05.84] True Blessing (What )
[00:10.41] True Stories (what)
[00:12.30] Miracles (What)
[00:14.48] True Blessing (What )
[00:20.29] I was riding in my car one day
[00:24.81] In the express lane
[00:26.51] Rolling on the freeway
[00:29.94] And suddenly the phone rings
[00:32.70] And then I reached down beside me
[00:35.08] Then I looked on the floor
[00:36.55] Felt on the backsteat
[00:38.62] See I was drinking (whoa)
[00:40.84] While I was driving (whoa)
[00:43.07] Never thinking (whoa)
[00:45.21] About what I was doing (whoa)
[00:47.78] I turned around (whoa)
[00:50.12] And before I knew it (whoa)
[00:52.38] Here comes this truck now
[00:56.03] The doctor said "I don't think he's going to make it"
[00:58.33] Family said "make the funeral arrangements"
[01:00.82] Unplug the machine he's gone now
[01:03.20] Then told my wife to be strong now
[01:05.87] Then a small voice said unto me
[01:07.99] If you promise to stop drinking
[01:10.28] I surrendered on that day
[01:12.33] Now for ten years I been straight
[01:14.67] You saved me
[01:16.82] You saved me
[01:19.12] You saved me
[01:21.35] You saved me
[01:23.65] you gave me baby a second chance
[01:25.98] You saved me
[01:28.13] You saved me
[01:30.39] You saved me
[01:33.18] You saved me
[01:35.25] Now I been sitting in this chair
[01:36.80] Waiting on the phone to ring
[01:38.72] Praying up to God
[01:40.42] That someone would call me with a job opening
[01:43.32] Cuz it's been so hard for me months and months
[01:47.43] Struggling to eat
[01:49.46] But still there was no answer
[01:52.48] I stopped believing in his word
[01:55.00] And got so mad at him
[01:56.81] And when somebody said God's good
[01:58.47] I just laugh at him
[02:00.84] And in the nick of time his blessing ruled on me
[02:04.08] By his grace the phone rings
[02:04.99] A lady says "were hiring"
[02:08.76] That's when i knew...
[02:09.97] You saved me
[02:12.20] You saved me
[02:14.31] You saved me
[02:16.80] You saved me
[02:19.16] you gave me baby a second chance
[02:21.38] You saved me
[02:23.72] You saved me
[02:25.75] You saved me
[02:27.72] You saved me
[02:30.16] Now I was 18 out there
[02:32.84] On the block selling drugs
[02:33.63] With a gun at my waist
[02:35.18] And for people I had no love
[02:38.01] See the streets was my home
[02:40.08] And family and friends were gone
[02:42.34] Had no one to trust
[02:44.45] And deep inside i was all alone
[02:47.22] And then a deal went bad one day
[02:49.13] And it was enough to pause me
[02:51.85] I was shot four times
[02:53.52] And before I knew it
[02:54.91] I was on my knees
[02:56.04] Blood rushing down my body
[02:57.02] My hearts beating fast
[02:58.34] I don't know what imma do
[02:59.47] I don't think i'm going to last
[03:00.64] Then I begin to flashback
[03:02.94] On the things I done in my past
[03:05.20] Then I heard a small voice the said to me
[03:06.45] "I'll give you peace if you believe"
[03:10.15] I accepted Christ that day
[03:12.15] Halleluyah! Now i'm free!
[03:14.67] You saved me
[03:16.78] You saved me
[03:19.00] You saved me
[03:21.45] You saved me
[03:23.79] you gave me baby a second chance
[03:25.77] You saved me
[03:28.14] You saved me
[03:30.66] You saved me
[03:32.81] You saved me
[03:33.80] I was in the aisle of a grocery store
[03:38.02] With a pain in my chest
[03:39.75] And i'm wondering where did it come from
[03:42.17] I got tested
[03:43.37] And the results came back and the doctor said
[03:44.84] "I'm sorry but you got cancer"
[03:47.56] I could not believe it
[03:48.95] So I called up my mama to calm my nerves
[03:51.45] (mama)she got down on her knees
[03:53.87] (mama)she said a prayer for me
[03:56.13] (mama)she said just keep on thanking jesus
[03:58.47] (mama)he'll give you all you need (thank you jesus)
[04:00.99] But that was Five years ago (thank you jesus)
[04:04.01] I don't have that pain no more (thank you jesus)
[04:06.23] Doc said "you can go home" (thank you jesus)
[04:08.68] Cuz all your cancer's gone
[04:10.83] You saved me
[04:12.26] You saved me
[04:14.49] You saved me
[04:16.75] You saved me
[04:19.09] you gave me baby a second chance
[04:21.42] You saved me
[04:23.76] You saved me
[04:26.06] You saved me
[04:27.89] You saved me
