Paroles: R. Kelly. Happy People / U Saved Me. U Saved Me.
True stories, miracles
(What? What?)
True blessings, all because of love
(What?)
True stories, miracles
(What? What?)
True blessings, all because of love
(What?)
I was 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, fell on the back seat
See, I was drinking while I was driving
Never thinking 'bout what I 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 told my wife to be strong now
Then a small voice said on to me
?If you promise to stop drinking?
I surrendered on that day
And for 10 years, I?ve been straight
You saved me, You saved me
(Whoa)
You saved me, You saved me, gave me a second chance
You saved me, You saved me
You saved me, You saved me
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 ring
A lady says, ?We're hiring?
And that?s when I knew
You saved me, You saved me
(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
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 things 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
You saved me, You saved me
(Saved)
You saved me, You saved me, gave me a second chance
You saved me, You saved me
You saved me, You saved me
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, she said a prayer for me
(Mama)
(Mama)
Said just keep on thanking Jesus, He?ll give you all you need
(Mama)
That was five years ago, don?t have that pain no mo'
Doc says, ?You can go home 'cause all your cancer's gone?
You saved me, You saved me
(Said, 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
(What? What?)
True blessings, all because of love
(What?)
