Exit 39 Lyrics - Defying Gravity - John Elefante

I started on down the road 

Just trying to drive my thoughts away 

But I couldn't help remembering 

Yesterday and everything in between 

It was as real as any image in a Technicolor dream 

Or was it my imagination playing tricks on me 

Was I losing my mind? 

Or was the truth just catching up to me - I don't know 

Oh, what did it matter? I just kept driving anyway 

A whole lot of baggage and conditions and nothing left 

to say 

Just then I noticed a sign 

It read, "Renew your soul through Jesus at Exit 39." 

I walked through an open door 

And I started to listen 

And the words cut right through my soul 

This was more than religion 

I saw water changed to wine 

At Exit 39-down at Exit 39 

I hung around for a while just trying to find some 

explanation 

And then a woman said to me, "Don't go searching 

anymore. 

Jesus knew that He'd meet you 

When you walked through that door today." 

Then I looked back at the sign 

It said, "You just gave your life to Jesus at Exit 

39." 

And for the first time I can open my eyes 

And see what I've been missing 

All His love and His forgiveness 

Was with me all the time 

More than just religion 

I saw water changed to wine 

At Exit 39
