Spent my time / livin' for myself
Spent my sanity / threw away my health
Life was a party / last one to leave
But soonr or later / it'll tke you to your knees
(yes it will)
I found out / love made the difference for me
I found out / love gave me eyes to see
I came up swingin' / singin' and playin' the blues
From town to town / the road filled with dope and booze
When I came to / in a hospital room, nearly dead
It was the mercy of God
And that's something I'll never forget
(Bridge)
Smarter people / don't have to touch the fire to learn
You reap what you sow / but one thing you'll never earn
God's love / God's love made the difference for me
I found out / His love still satisfies me
