Salvation

[Intro: Ruben Studdard]
God saved me (Yeah)
From myself when no one else was around
God saved me (Yeah)
From myself when no one else was around
God
God
God, God, God, God, G-G

[Chorus: Ruben Studdard & Jules]
God saved me (Yeah)
From myself when no one else was around, 'round
Couldn’t do it on my own, shows all along that
God saved me (Yeah)
From myself when no one else was around, 'round
Before I carry on, let it be known that
God saved me (Yeah)
From myself when no one else was around, 'round
Couldn’t do it on my own, shows all along that
God saved me (Yeah)
From myself when no one else was around, 'round
Before I carry on, let it be known that

[Verse 1: Jules]
It's not worship music, this purpose music
Never in vain, got a purpose to it
Here to aid the lost and show the perks to do it
Need to break the mold, I'll be the perp to do it
Put the work into and let God provide
I had to learn quick 'bout the crowd I run with
Same hand you sow seeds is the one you earn with
So I use discernment when I'm parting ties
My Lord, need to save myself
The biggest threat to myself is myself, so I pray
O Lord, could you provide some help?
When lows is dealt, it's only myself, no one else
In Hell's kitchen trying not to melt (Not to melt)
For His glory I came shorter than an elf (Below the belt, huh?)
No matter how I felt, every other step
Devil always crept, prepped for a bed of nails but never slept, yep
Thank the Lord for his body (Body)
And for the blood he let flow (Flow)
For the price that he paid (Paid)
Just to purchase my soul, I’m sold
When lights is dim and it’s cold, just know
It's a price to pay on this road, a toll
But I spend it all ’cause the things of this world
Never measure to the treasures that I'm owed
So course I remember, course that I enter
Naysayers saying it's too coarse to be a winner
So I keep it cool like the course of a winter
On the low, I'm heating up like the corpse of a sinner, no ember
And when the man in the mirror seems to fail
The one above will always prevail
Though I’m not ashamed, I will praise His name
Like loose lips, it ain't hard to tell that

[Chorus: Ruben Studdard & Jules]
God saved me (Yeah)
From myself when no one else was around, 'round
Couldn't do it on my own, shows all along that
God saved me (Yeah)
From myself when no one else was around, 'round
Before I carry on, let it be known that
God saved me (Yeah)
From myself when no one else was around, 'round
Couldn't do it on my own, shows all along that
God saved me (Yeah)
From myself when no one else was around, 'round
Before I carry on, let it be known that

[Bridge: J. None]
He saved me, He saved me
From myself
Ohh

[Verse 2: Jules]
The Lord and Savior's my mentor
His love is all I contend for
This lifestyle they'll condemn or
They'll copy that just like 10-4
Regardless, what should I repent for?
What I get out is what I'm in for
These memoirs will help these men soar
But I stay grounded by Cement 4s
And that's word, on everything
When truth speaks it's like Heaven sings
Lose touch with God and lose everything
So I stay engaged just like a wedding ring
And I do
It wasn't always true, I used to be so foolish
Tried to solve my own problems, couldn't be more clueless
Turned my back on the Lord, how could I be so Judas?
I stayed amused with the muses
At the time, my Korean suitress
Flight to South Carolina, I'd take
The way I used to fornicate you would think I was a nudist
But that summer things changed when I woke from a dream
I remained shook from the things that I seen
So I turned to the Lord and His word I would cling
And knelt to my knees and prayed to the King

[Verse 3: Jules]
Dear Heavenly Father
I pray the actions of my past don't affect the presents of my future
My selfish mentally done put me in more awkward positions than Kama Sutra
It's quit clear that I'm holding on by a thread
Entangled in the fabric of my narcissistic ways
But I've tailored my appeal so this might just suit ya
I'll be glad to take an exit now I'm blessed with your stage presence, and
They say the writings on the wall, well
I just hope I can read the message
For I am not ashamed of the gospel 'cause it's the power of God that brings salvation
The perfect plan, so
I'll just hold on to You forever
Amen

[Outro: A Legend & Bob Marley]
Young bull
Look how far you've come
On the road less traveled
Through the doubt, the distractions, and destruction
You made it
Out of the darkness came light
But what's most important, you did it your way
And the best part about it is it can't be copied, you know?
It's the feel, you know?
It carry a feel
Where you explain to musicians
Dem know it, but dem can't do it
Some people still searching for this truth here
But, how long it really take you?
This is the maturation of what's inside you
Because what you is, is what you is
From beginning to the end
And that's having honesty
That's having more a consciousness
And being real
Let it show
Let it show
