(Mm, hmm)
The life I was living
Just barely existing
The spark in my eyes
A faint candlelight
All smoke and no flame
In each waking hour
The lies just got louder
Til a whisper cut through
And I knew it was you
Before I knew your name
Oh, I know
Somebody saved
This long gone lost cause
When I barely was breathing
He gave me a song
And I think that I’ve known it since when I was young
It was Jesus
Jesus all along
It’s wilder than fiction
A love with no limits
No prodigal soul
Is left in the cold
No wrong you can’t right
Somebody saved
This long gone lost cause
When I barely was breathing
He gave me a song
And I think that I’ve known it since when I was young
It was Jesus
Jesus all along
When I stumbled back home
After all I’d done wrong
You had left the light on
You looked deep in my eyes
And you called me your child
You’ve been here the whole time
Every high every low
Every turn in the road
Has led me to know
Somebody saved
This long gone lost cause
When I barely was breathing
He gave me a song
And I think that I’ve known it since when I was young
It was Jesus
Somebody saved
This long gone lost cause
When I barely was breathing
He gave me a song
And I think that I’ve known it since when I was young
It was Jesus
Jesus all along
It was Jesus
Jesus all along
