Saved

Jesus saved me from the current
Placing me on higher ground. 
I was whirling toward the rapids
'Til his loving arms I found.

Jesus guided me to safety
When no other seemed to care,
Gently guarding from the hazards
That I didn't know were there.

If you trust our gentle Savior,
He will do the same for you.
Call His name, He'll walk beside you.
Sin and danger can't get through.

Inspired by Alan Jackson's "Blessed Assurance"
