Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was stuck out on that back road
Tail lights fading in my rearview shame
Sunday words I heard as a kid
Felt a million country miles away
Empty bottle on the front seat
Angry prayers hangin' in the air
Said, "If You’re there and You still want me
I’m so tired of runnin' scared"

[Chorus]
Jesus my Savior
You found me in the dark
Pulled my truck from the ditch
Put Your name on my heart
From the mud to the altar
From the bar to the Father
I once was lost, now I’m forever
Holdin' on to Jesus my Savior (oh yeah)

[Verse 2]
Now that old church by the gravel
Ain’t just somethin' that I drive on past
I’m singin' loud on the back pew
Hands up higher than the steeple mast
Mama cries when she hears me
'Cause she knows what I used to be
But grace can grow in the hard ground
Even boys like me get set free

[Chorus]
Jesus my Savior
You found me in the dark
Pulled my truck from the ditch
Put Your name on my heart
From the mud to the altar
From the bar to the Father
I once was lost, now I’m forever
Holdin' on to Jesus my Savior

[Bridge]
I’ve chased every wrong road
Still You stayed on my right
Now every mile marker
Spells out mercy in my life
I don’t need that old past
Got a brand-new story to tell
About a small-town sinner
That a big God loved so well (hey!)

[Chorus]
Jesus my Savior
You found me in the dark
Pulled my truck from the ditch
Put Your name on my heart
From the mud to the altar
From the bar to the Father
I once was lost, now I’m forever
Holdin' on to Jesus my Savior
Yeah, I’m holdin' on to Jesus my Savior
