R. Kelly - U Saved Me Lyrics

True stories, what
Miracles, what
True blessing, what, [Incomprehensible]
True stories, what
Miracles, what
True blessing, what

I was riding in my car one day
In the express lane, rolling on the freeway
And suddenly the phone rings, then I reached down beside me
Then I looked on the floor felt on the back seat

See I was drinking while I was driving
Never thinking 'bout what I was doin'
I turned around and before I knew it
Here comes this truck now

The doctor said "I don't think he is gonna to 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 unto me
"If you promise to stop drinking"
I surrendered on that day
Now for ten years I've been straight

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

Now I've been sitting in this 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

I stop believing in His word and got so mad at Him
And when somebody say, "God's good" I'd just laugh at him, oh yeah
In the nick of time his blessings rained on me, by his grace the phone rings
A lady says,"We're hiring", and that's when I knew He

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

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 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 four times
And before I knew it I was on my knees

Blood rushing out my body, my hearts beating fast
I don't know Imma do don't think Iâ€~m gonna last
Then I began to flash back
On the things I've done in my past

Then a very 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, 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 pain in my chest
And I'm wondering were did it come from?
I got tested and the results came back
The doctor said "I'm sorry but you've got cancer."
I could not believe it
So I called up my momma to calm my nerves

Momma, she got down on her knees
Momma, She said a prayer for me
Said, "Just keep on thanking Jesus
And He'll give you all you need"

Now that was five years ago
I don't have that pain no more
Doc said, "You can go home
'Cause all your cancers gone"

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

When I was going left, You swerved me right
Yes all the way down, You lift me up all night
And though You saw me fall and forgave me all my sins
I would call on You and You would let me in
I had nothin' to lose and so I tried You
And now I am guaranteed that You are the truth

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

You saved me, You saved me, You saved me, You saved me
Gave me a second chance
It was by grace that you saved me
I'm so thankful that You looked down on me

Saw me standing there, I was at the end of my rope
No where to go then You gave me a second chance
I was down and out till, yes I was, I was doing drugs till, yes I was
I was running these streets till, never felt love till You saved me
I was gang bangin' till You saved me, wildin' out till You saved me
On my dying bed till You stepped in

You saved me
You saved me
You saved me
