You Saved Me Lyrics - R. Kelly

True stories (what) 

Miracles (what) 

True blessings (what) 

All because of love 

True stories (what) 

Miracles (what) 

True blessings (what) 

All because of love 

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 felt 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

Chorus: 

You saved me(woah) 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 the chair 

waiting on the phone to ring 

Praying up to God that someone would call me with a job opening 

Cause its 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 Gods 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 were hiring 

And that's when I knew 

Photos 

Chorus: 

You saved me(saved) 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 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 hearts beatin fast 

I don't know what I'm a do I don't think I'm gonna last) 

Then I began to flash back on the thing I've done in my past 

(Then I heard a small voice that said to me I'll give you peace if u believe) 

I accepted Christ that day hallelujah now I'm free 

Chorus: 

You saved me(saved) 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 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 (mama)she said a prayer for me 

(mama) said just keep on thanking Jesus (mama)he'll give you all you need 

That was five years ago don't have that pain no mo 

Doc says you can go home cause all your caners gone 

Chorus: 

You saved me(sad 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
