if someone helped you out
when you needed help
like you never had before

would you keep it a secret
or would you shout
so it's impossible to ignore

when you tell me not to say it
it just makes me wanna say it more
Jesus Christ saved my life
when you say be quiet
it just makes me wanna scream it til my lungs are torn
Jesus Christ saved my life

I was driving down this road
it was pretty wide
at the end I could see the flames

out of nowhere someone grabbed the wheel
and spun me across the yellow lines
and straight into the other lane

so if you tell me not to say it
it just makes me wanna say it more
Jesus Christ saved my life
and if you say be quiet
it just makes me wanna scream it til my lungs are torn
Jesus Christ saved my life

so what is my life for
tell me what is my life for
if I cannot say the name
of the one that I adore
of the one that I adore
Jesus Christ my Lord.
