Verse 1:
Wandering into the night
Wanting a place to hide
This weary soul, this bag of bones
I tried with all my might
But I just can?t win the fight
I?m slowly drifting, a vagabond

Pre-Chorus:
And just when I went on the road,
I met a man I didn?t know
And he told me that I was not alone

Chorus:
You picked me up, turned me around
Placed my feet on solid ground
I thank the Master, I thank the Savior
Because He healed my heart
Changed my name
Forever free, I?m not the same
I Thank the Master, I Thank the Savior
I thank God

Verse 2:
I can not deny what I?ve seen
Got no choice but to believe
My doubts are burning,
like ashes in the wind
So so long to my old friends,
Burden and Bitterness
You can just keep it moving
Nah, you ain?t welcome here

Pre-Chorus:
From now ?til I walk the streets of gold
I?ll sing how you saved my soul
This wayward son has
found his way back home

Bridge:
Hell lost another one, I am free,
Oh I am free, I am free

Tag:
Get up, get up, get up
Get up out of that grave
