Lyrics
Love saved my life
Why don?t you give god the glory, Let him in your life right now
I got a testimony-- I was on my way
Oh I was on my way but god came in one night and changed everything about me
Why don?t you listen?
My soul was lost had no meaning in my life just emptiness inside,
Just marking time with a heart as heavy as stone
I walked the streets alone
Then like a lightning strike god came into my life
And showed me blessings that I?d never knew before
And now my life has changed my heart is free of pain
When I let god into my world
Love saved, loved saved me, love saved my life
Love saved, loved saved me, love saved my life
I hid my tears, perpetratin? always fakin?
My life was just a lie
I tried it my way but I could not relief my mind was not at peace
Then smack out of the blue, feelings I never knew
Came to the surface like a drowning man for air
I felt the sweetest rush from God?s amazing touch
That night his angel heard my prayer
Love saved, loved saved me, love saved my life
Love saved, loved saved me, love saved my life
It?s the power of love, and it saved my life-- came to me like a lightning strike
It?s the power of love --what it can do
Done it for me, it?ll do it for you
That night I found myself all alone and I needed somebody
somebody to touch me--Love saved my life
Sadness had left me blind, sleep didn?t come at night
My life was a total wreck, broken pride no self respect
I was falling without a chute when God came to my rescue
Just about the nick of time, love came and it saved my life
See I was just about ready to give up-- on the count of two
But I was hopin? and prayin?
That somebody would come to my rescue
