Content Faith - Saved to the Bones

Saved to the Bones
I should have never left
I should have stayed home
I've never met a savior all in one place
It had to be the savior that saved me that day
Cause I was gone, I was gone, I was gone, I was gone
I could've been going home

Holy Ghost filled, sanctified, It was only my savior who changed my life
I'm home, I'm home, I'm home, I'm home
Saved to the bones

Holy Ghost filled, sanctified, It was only my savior who changed my life
I'm home, I'm home, I'm home, I'm home
Saved to the bones

Met him at a gas station, paid my way
Filled up my tank, good start to a bad day
I felt something wrong but I kept going on

Two months later, left my life, because my marriage was full of pain, full of strife
I was wrong, wrong wrong, felt it was too late so I kept going on

Holy Ghost filled, sanctified, It was only my savior who changed my life
I'm home, I'm home, I'm home, I'm home
Saved to the bones

My new man he was strong when he held me tight
Held me real tight in the middle of the night
I was longing, I was longing, I was longing, longing for love

A bright new morning a fresh new day
I didn't see it coming but it came anyway
He woke up in the morning with the flu
Didn't have medicine but I knew just what to do
I grabbed for his wallet as he went back to sleep
Needed to get some cold medicine from Walgreens
Went to his pocket to get some cash, he didn't have cash so I went to his bag
I unzipped his bag saw a bag full of cash. A gun with a clip full of ten rounds inside
It was cold, cold, cold, body my body turned to stone

Holy Ghost filled, sanctified, It was only my savior who changed my life
I'm home, I'm home, I'm home, I'm home
Saved to the bones

My momma told me there'd be days like this
I can't believe I left my husband with 3 children
I played it safe and got back in the bed
Images of my getting shot was in my head

Looked at my phone, what did I see
An Instagram video of a bank robbery
Three tellers killed, one escaped
Security was shot at the entrance gate
What in the Gideon is going on?
As I turned it off, but Mister seen my phone
I'm caught, I'm caught, I'm caught
As he put his had over my mouth

I was baptized as a little girl, filled with the Holy Ghost
What in the world
What in the world

My problems in my marriage got the best of me
Instead of working it out, I decided to leave
Forgiveness in my heart, what do I do
He gone kill me, AH, What do I do
I gotta get out, I got to get out, I got to get out, I got to get out

Got up then reached for my keys, he tried to grab the bag
He pulled out the gun, I didn't know he had
Turned around, placed my hand on the knob
"Wait!" He screamed, then he said, that he had to rob the bank
He said he'd shoot if I took one more step away from him
I heard the gun click, I knew I was dead
But his gunned was jammed, I opened the door
I started to run
I slammed the door so fast in his face that he fell back
I made an escape

Holy Ghost filled, sanctified, It was only my savior who changed my life
I'm home, I'm home, I'm home, I'm home
Saved to the bones

Later that day I saw on the news, He was arrested and the money returned too

Holy Ghost filled, sanctified, It was only my savior who changed my life
I'm home, I'm home, I'm home, I'm home
Saved to the bones
