Picture this, an eight year old kid growing up in Georgia
Having a hard time with the world that he was seeing
Coming home from school
Scared to death and always wondering
What kind of mood his dad would be in
That kind of home can do a number on you
Mom and dad broke up, and I guess I broke too
I grew up thinking nothing good could ever come
From a story like mine
But who turns a broken dream
Into a life redeemed?
Who can turn your worst defeat
Into your victory?
Who saw me where I was
And led me where I stand?
My life is living proof that only Jesus can
Everybody’s got that hurt they wished that never happened
Everybody’s got that pain they wish they could undo
But wounds become scars and scars become stories
And when it comes to the story of you
Who turns a broken dream
Into a life redeemed?
Who can turn your worst defeat
Into your victory?
Who saw me where I was
And led me where I stand?
My life is living proof that only Jesus can
Only Jesus can save me
Only Jesus can change me
Only Jesus can take me
From lost to found
Hallelujah, I’m singing
There’s no stealing my freedom
He picked up all the pieces
Look at me now
Who turns a broken dream
Into a life redeemed?
Who can turn your worst defeat
Into your victory?
Who saw me where I was
And led me where I stand?
My life is living proof that only Jesus can
Oh (ooh, ooh)
Oh, thank You, Jesus (ooh, ooh)
Come on
Only Jesus can save me (ooh)
(Only Jesus can change me)
Only You can change me, Lord
(Only Jesus can take me) ooh
From lost to found
There ain’t no stealing my freedom
My life is living proof that only Jesus can
