| He was preachin' down off 3rd and main as I was passin' by
|
| He was walking talking kinda crazy warnin' us all 'bout the end of time
|
| So out from the crowd, I just asked him how could God love a mess like me
|
| He said, «Son, I’m a preacher now but that ain’t who I used to be»
|
| He said
|
| You’ll never know, you’ll never know
|
| Just how far love has brought me
|
| You’ll never know who I used to be
|
| Cause I’ve been around and I’ve been down
|
| To the bottom of hell and back again
|
| I was almost out, I was at my end
|
| But then love stepped in
|
| She works downtown at the halfway house almost every day
|
| All the love she has she just gives away
|
| So I asked her why she spends so much time on the broken and the poor
|
| And she just smiled at me and said «I'm not who I was before»
|
| She said
|
| You’ll never know, you’ll never know
|
| Just how far love has brought me
|
| You’ll never know who I used to be
|
| Cause I’ve been around and I’ve been down
|
| To the bottom of hell and back again
|
| I was almost out, I was at my end
|
| But then love stepped in
|
| Love stepped in
|
| I look back sometimes over where I’ve been and just how far I’ve come
|
| Since the day that preacher told me about His amazing love
|
| I was lost and alone, then the lights came on and hope set my heart free
|
| In the darkest hour grace got a hold of me, yeah
|
| You’ll never know, you’ll never know
|
| Just how far love has brought me
|
| You’ll never know who I used to be, oh oh
|
| Cause I’ve been around and I’ve been down
|
| To the bottom of hell and back again
|
| I was almost out, I was at my end
|
| But then love stepped in
|
| Love stepped in |
