Couplet 1

If I could have your attention
Don't mean to waste your time
I'd like to tell a little story
How I was lost and
Couldn't find my way
Then I met Jesus
Something started to change
I ain't proud of the past
I'm proud of the fact that
I'm not who I was now

Refrain

I am different now
Every part of me
Has been touched by freedom
Oh Jesus ya gotta hold on me
I fell but somehow
You refused to leave
Now all my wrong forgiven
Oh Jesus ya gotta hold on me

Couplet 2

Born in North Carolina
Outside the county lines
Yeah I came up in the struggle
And on the streets
I had to find my way
But that was just a chapter
No It was not the end
I ain't proud of the past
But I'm proud of the fact
That I'm not who I was now

Refrain

I am different now
Every part of me
Has been touched by freedom
Oh Jesus ya gotta hold on me
I fell but somehow
You refused to leave
Now all my wrong forgiven
Oh Jesus ya gotta hold on me

Pont

No matter what comes or goes
One thing is for sure
You won't let me go
You got a hold on me
And when I'm losing control
You're dependable
No you won't let go
You got a hold on me

Instrumental

I used to fall asleep in Sunday school
Sang in the choir so
I could sit right next to you yeah
Puppy love but see
Now I forget your name
Cuz after time memories they fade away
But still the day
I could never let it go
That Sunday morning
When I met the Holy Ghost
On my mama church boy now
I'll never be the same
Jesus paid it all and told me
I could keep the change pull up
