Little Saint

I recall when I was just eight-teen

Nothing to do one night, so I went to church with a friend of mine

And that's when I saw the light

A power was there like I'd never known

Moved me right out of my seat, I could feel His blood washing

Over me the night I was made complete

I was born again, turned away from sin

No longer could I do the things I used to do

Then people started talking

Never making trouble, playing life straight

Always keeping under control

You're such a little saint

I knew I couldn't let them get to me

The things my friends would say

At times it seemed so much to take and too hard for me to stay

I held on, stayed in the world, stood tall down on my knees

Never forgetting the words I read of hope and security

And I learned all the while these firey trials

Are to test your faith can you endure when the rumors fly

Never making trouble, playing life straight

Always keeping under control

Got no time for running, heaven won't wait

Always on a mission from God you're such a little saint

It ain't easy being a light in a world of darkness

Day after day getting hit from every side and still we carry on

With hope in the name of love
