Saved by Love
Rescued by Embrace: Chris Knight's Salvation Anthem
Lyrics
I wasn't stranded in the desert
I was not in a desperate situation in life.
I wasn't drifting out to sea
I was not aimlessly adrift in the sea of uncertainties.
I was in no kind of danger
I was not facing any imminent threat or harm.
That would be the death of me
There was no danger that could have caused my demise.
But when you took me in your arms
When you embraced me, it felt like a divine presence.
Like an angel from above
Your hug was like that of an angel descending from above.
I was saved, saved by love
I was rescued and protected by the power of love.
I wasn't strung out in some alley
I was not struggling in a dangerous alley with an addictive habit.
With a habit I couldn't kick
I did not have an uncontrollable habit that I couldn't overcome.
Wasn't lost in dark depression
I was not engulfed in a deep state of sadness or despair.
I wasn't hurting. I wasn't sick
I was not in physical or emotional pain.
Didn't have all that I needed
I didn't possess everything I needed in life.
But what I had seemed like enough
However, what I had seemed sufficient until...
'Til I was saved, saved by love
I was rescued and transformed by the power of love.
You don't long for what you don't know
You don't desire what you haven't experienced.
You don't miss what you never had
You don't feel the absence of something you never possessed.
You just watch your life float on by
Life just goes by, neither exceptionally good nor bad.
Not too good, not too bad
Reflecting on life before you entered it...
Looking back before you found me
My life was a pitiable situation.
What a sad, sad case I was
Until I was rescued and transformed by the power of love.
'Til I was saved, saved by love
Now I look at all the wrong turns
I look at the paths I took that led nowhere.
I've passed along the way
The dead ends I rushed towards...
The dead ends I'd of raced down
And the potential cost of those choices.
And the price I would've paid
If not for your grace, I might have faced dire consequences.
There but for the grace of you
It's uncertain where I would have ended up without you.
Who knows where I'd of wound up
But I was saved and redeemed by the transformative power of love.
But I was saved, saved by love
Yeah I was saved, saved by love
