Title: Next Thing You Know

_______________________________________________

I remember when I was thirteen
I saw a picture on my TV screen
The Reverend Billy Graham
And the people singing "Just As I Am"
And it felt like You were talking to me
Now the whole world seemed to fade away
Until I heard my mother say
"Son are you okay?
Do you wanna pray?"
And that became the hour I first believed

Chorus:
Next thing you know
I'm high and flyin'
Next thing you know
My heart is in Your hands
Next thing you know
There's no denyin'
Next thing you know
I'm a brand new man

Now I wish I could say I was saved right there
And I did until my freshman year
The world was pulling me a long way from thirteen
You were calling but I didn't hear
Still I knew there was something more
So one day my knees hit the dorm room floor
I said, "If You're really there, and if You really care
Come and talk to me like I was thirteen"

Chorus:

lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala

I got a picture in my head today
Of how Heaven might look someday
I see the people there so I pull up a chair
And their stories they blow me away
And I can see it on every face
The evidence of Grace
And as I listen it occurs to me
Everybody's got their own thirteen
So what's your story
About His glory
You gotta find your place
In the history of Grace
Yeah, whats your story
About His glory
Come on and find your place

Chorus:

lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala
