He Saved Me

(Verse 1)
Jesus, He saved me...
Reached down into the mess
I was in and He saved me
Opened my blinded eyes to see

(Verse 2)
I don't have to go
Back to the hood even if I could
He saved me...
Opened doors I could not see
He saved me...

(Verse 3)
Here I am, just as I am
I surrender my all and all
My heart, my body, my mind 
I surrender my all and all to you

(Chorus)
I won't ever give up
I won't ever turn back
Where you've brought me from
Jesus, He saved me...

I was tired of the life I was living
The streets had pulled me in
Living in a world of sin
I wanted a different walk
A different way to talk
Called on Jesus, He saved me...

(Repeat Verse 3)

I won't ever give up 
I won't ever turn back
Where you've brought me from 
Jesus, He saved me...

Jesus, He saved me...
