(Soft, melancholic piano chords)
I remember the cold of the room
The silence before the storm
But You were there, Lord
You were there in the darkness
The pain was heavy, a burden in my side
My kidney failing, nowhere left to hide
They took me to the theatre at UTH
Walking the thin line between life and death
Nineteen doctors standing in a ring
I heard the machines, I heard the sirens sing
It was complicated, the shadow of the grave
But You stepped in, the only One to save
Oh, God, You saved my life when I was falling
I heard Your voice, I heard You clearly calling
Through the revelation, You gave me the plan
To preach Your gospel to every woman and man
From the hospital bed to the church and the school
Your mercy is the river, Your grace is the pool
Thank You, God, for the breath in my chest
You put my spirit and my body to rest
While they were cutting, I was far away
In a vision of light, I heard You say
"Go tell the people of the love I provide"
That was the moment the sickness died
I woke up confused, in the center of the fray
Nineteen doctors working through the day
They were terrified, they were losing their grip
But I felt the power, I felt Your fellowship
Oh, God, You saved my life when I was falling
I heard Your voice, I heard You clearly calling
Through the revelation, You gave me the plan
To preach Your gospel to every woman and man
From the hospital bed to the church and the school
Your mercy is the river, Your grace is the pool
Thank You, God, for the breath in my chest
You put my spirit and my body to rest
I told them, "Leave me, I am walking free"
Because the King of Glory is watching over me
No more UTH, no more white sterile walls
I only answer when my Savior calls
You are powerful, You are marvelous, Lord
My life is a witness, a living reward
It’s been years now, and I’m standing strong
Living the truth, turning darkness to song
They couldn't explain how the heart beat on
How the healing started with the break of dawn
It wasn't the medicine, it wasn't the knife
It was Your hands, Lord, preserving my life
I’m preaching the word, I’m planting the seed
You are the Master, You satisfy the need
Oh, God, You saved my life when I was falling
I heard Your voice, I heard You clearly calling
Through the revelation, You gave me the plan
To preach Your gospel to every woman and man
From the hospital bed to the church and the school
Your mercy is the river, Your grace is the pool
Thank You, God, for the breath in my chest
You put my spirit and my body to rest
Ever since that day, I’ve never gone back
You kept me on the true and narrow track
Powerful God, marvelous King
It’s Your praises that I’ll always sing
(Fade out with soft piano)
Thank You, Lord.
Thank You.
