[Verse 1]
Momma had two jobs
Clocked in, clocked out
She'd come home late
We was outside by then
Me and lil bro
On the wrong side of town
Skippin' porch lights
Learnin' how to run
Had too much pride
And too little sense
Talkin' big boys
Wit' a pocket full of stress
We got high just to
Feel less left out
But the hurt stayed close
Like it knew our route
[Pre-Chorus]
Then one night changed
When I hit my knees
Felt that old shame
Fall off of me
He found me low
In the mud and dust
Took my broken hand
Said "son, get up"
[Chorus]
JESUS CAME AND SAVED US
(oh, He came and saved us)
JESUS CAME AND SAVED US
(He turned my whole life)
From the back roads
To the Father's house
JESUS CAME AND SAVED US
(yeah, He came and saved us)
[Verse 2]
Now I see Momma
When she wipes her eyes
All them double shifts
Ain't in vain tonight
Lil bro still laughs
But he don't run wild
Got a new name
Got a better road now
I don't chase that numb
I don't need that cloud
Got a steady heart
And a louder shout
Where I used to bleed
There's a healed-up scar
What was dead in me
Now it beats hard
[Pre-Chorus]
I was lost for years
In a blur and flame
Then His voice came near
And it called my name
He found me low
In the mud and dust
Took my broken hand
Said "son, get up"
[Chorus]
JESUS CAME AND SAVED US
(oh, He came and saved us)
JESUS CAME AND SAVED US
(He turned my whole life)
From the back roads
To the Father's house
JESUS CAME AND SAVED US
(yeah, He came and saved us)
[Bridge]
Tell my lil bro
You can come on home
There ain't no grave
That can keep you down
Momma, look now
What the Lord has done
Two tired hearts
Got a brand new song
He took our shame
He broke that chain
Washed that night
Away in His name
[Chorus]
JESUS CAME AND SAVED US
(oh, He came and saved us)
JESUS CAME AND SAVED US
(He turned my whole life)
From the back roads
To the Father's house
JESUS CAME AND SAVED US
(yeah, He came and saved us)
