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
