He was
preaching down off of 3rd and
Main as I was passing by
He was talking kinda crazy,
warning us all about the end of time
So out from the crowd,
I just asked him how
Could
God love a mess like me?
Son, I'm a preacher now
But that ain't who I used to be
He said, you'll never know,
you'll never know
Just how far love has brought me
You'll never know who I used to be
Cause I've been around
and I've been down
To the bottom of hell and back again
I was almost out, I was at my end
But then love stepped in
She works downtown at the halfway house,
almost every day
And all the love she has,
she just gives away
So I asked her why she spent so much
time on the broken and the poor
And she just smiled at me and said
I'm not who I was before
She said, you'll never know,
you'll never know
Just how far love has brought me
You'll never know who I used to be
Cause I've been
around and I've been down
To the bottom on hell and back again
I was almost out, I was at my end
But then long step in
Long step in
I look back sometimes
on where I've been
And just how far I've come
Since the day that preacher
Told me about his amazing love
I was lost and alone
And the lights came on
And hope set my heart free
In the darkest hour
But grace got a hold of me, yeah
You'll never know, you'll never know
Just how far love has brought me
You'll never know who I used to be
Oh, oh, oh
Cause I've been around
and I've been down
To the bottom of hell and back again
I was almost out, I was at my end
Yeah, love's down there
You know love's down there
you
