Lyrics Damascus Road - John Mellencamp, Carlene Carter

Damascus Road

I had a come to Jesus revelation
In a blinding light I met my soul’s salvation
My feet don’t falter my limbs don’t ache
Through the waterless land of the thorns and the snake
I could taste the freedom in the back a my throat
My burdens too heavy for me to tote
So I Fell to my knees I dug a hole down deep
Dropped 'em in a bottomless pit for the Devil to keep
No angels heard what I said
I got an urgent message from a voice inside my head
I can suddenly see the good and bad of both sides of me
Down the road to Damascus Road
The righteous and evil are God’s creation
Humanity’s filled with this combination
But my faith won’t waiver my spirit wide awake
I’m Glory bound now with every step I take
I’ve been changed forever when I came to believe
Grace in forgiveness given to me
Like a force of nature cross this wide n wicked land
Won’t cha hear the message and decide on which side you stand
No angels heard what I said
I got an urgent message from a voice inside my head
I can suddenly see the good and bad of both sides of me
Down the road to Damascus Road
No angels heard what I said
I got an urgent message from a voice inside my head
I can suddenly see the good and bad of both sides of me
Down the road to Damascus Road
