[Carene Carter]
I had a come to Jesus revelation
In a blinding light I met my soul's salvation
My feet don't falter my limbs don't ache
Through the waterless land of the thorns and the snake
I could taste the freedom in the back a my throat
My burdens too heavy for me to tote
So I Fell to my knees I dug a hole down deep
Dropped 'em in a bottomless pit for the Devil to keep
[Carlene Carter & John Mellencamp]
No angels heard what I said
I got an urgent message from a voice inside my head
I can suddenly see the good and bad of both sides of me
Down the road to Damascus Road
[Carlene Carter]
The righteous and evil are God's creation
Humanity's filled with this combination
But my faith won't waiver my spirit wide awake
I'm Glory bound now with every step I take
I've been changed forever when I came to believe
Grace in forgiveness given to me
Like a force of nature cross this wide n wicked land
Won't cha hear the message and decide on which side you stand
[Carlene Carter & John Mellencamp]
No angels heard what I said
I got an urgent message from a voice inside my head
I can suddenly see the good and bad of both sides of me
Down the road to Damascus Road
[Carlene Carter & John Mellencamp]
No angels heard what I said
I got an urgent message from a voice inside my head
I can suddenly see the good and bad of both sides of me
Down the road to Damascus Road
