HE SAVED ME

At age ten, I was having breakfast with my little sister
Had our unifuniformsorms on, getting ready for school
I started experiencing pains in my stomach
Lost consciousness and was rushed down to the hospital
Seven days lying on the sick bed, tears in my mama's eyes
Mama praying effortlessly, a bright light fell upon my heart
He saved me

I was driving on the highway with friends
Suddenly the break went out of control
Car ran behind a trailer, smashed into her back side
We drifted and dashed into the woods
No car overheating, no death sustained
I came out with but a little scratch on my left arm
He saved me

Walking down the street to get a beer at the liquor store
At gun point, I was arrested by the police and handcuffed
Sentenced forty years to life, for murder on awaiting trial
That moment, all my sins flashes between my eyes
My soul going to hell, soberly I went to God on my knees
God gave me a clean slate,  by His grace, now I am free
He saved me
