I was sitting at my kitchen table one night So troubled and confused when I saw the light I picked up the dusty Bible my mama gave me Opened it up to Psalm 40 and verse three
I called on the Lord in my deep despair He gloriously saved me at my kitchen chair Now he has given me a new song to sing About my Lord and savior and soon coming king
He saved my soul and filled me with great joy When I was born again, a brand new boy I'm so glad that Jesus came and saved me Loosed the chains of darkness and set me free
Gave me peace and joy from on high My soul was so light I could fly The Lord filled me with a thirst for his word The sweetest words I've ever read or heard
From Genesis to Revelation I read and read As manna from heaven filled my heart and head I read that Jesus loves me as the story did unfold In His loving arms the whole world he does hold
I will never cease to love the one who died for me I know that heaven is a real place and there I will be With Jesus and loved ones who have gone on before I am so thankful he came into my heart's door
