Lyrics
There was a time in your life
When you wanted the pain to leave
There were tears in your eyes
When you were down on your knees
Asking forgiveness
Said you'd do anything
But did you mean it?
And then the pain went away
But did you thank your Lord?
You went your own way
You were sinning even more
You said that someday
Said you'd do anything
But did you mean it?
Oh, well, I know you know the difference
Between a promise and a lie
And I hope you know the difference
Between what is wrong and right
And I know you said you gave it all to Jesus Christ
Told him that someday
Said you'd do anything
But did you mean it?
And there was a time in your life
When you were so afraid
Nothing could go right
You got on your knees and prayed
And asked forgiveness
Said you'd do anything
But did you mean it?
Oh, and now the time has come
To make your promise true
But you sit around
After all he's done for you
You need forgiveness
You don't do anything
You didn't mean it
Oh, well, I know you know the difference
Between a promise and a lie
And I hope you know the difference
Between what is wrong and right
And I know you said you gave it all to Jesus Christ
Told him that someday
Said you'd do anything
Oh, yeah
And now the time has come
To make your promise true
But you sit around
After all he's done for you
You need forgiveness
You don't do anything
You didn't mean it, yeah
Oh, well, I know you know the difference
Between a promise and a lie
And I hope you know the difference
Between what is wrong and right
And I know you said you gave it all to Jesus Christ
Told him that someday
Said you'd do anything
But did you mean it?
You said that someday
Said you'd do anything, yeah
Hey, Mama, take a look at me now
Things are going fine here in the big town
Hey, Mama, if you could only see, yeah
All of my friends and how they love me, yeah
And I know you said I need Jesus
Well, Mama, can't you see I'm doing fine?
Oh, yes, I know you said I need Jesus
Well, Mama, I ain't got the time
Oh, I ain't got the time, no, no
Hey, Mama, it's been two long years
Since I have seen you, I want you here
Hey, Mama, things ain't the same
Since I last wrote you, things have changed
And I know you said I need Jesus
Well, Mama, can't you see I'm doing fine?
Oh, yes, I know you said I need Jesus
Well, Mama, I ain't got the time
Oh, I ain't got the time, no, no
No, Mama, no, no, no
No, Mama, Mama, no
No, Mama, no, Mama, Mama
Well, everything's going wrong
You see, everything's going wrong
And no, I can't take it no more
Well, everything's going wrong
You see, everything's going wrong
And no, I can't take it no more
Well, I need Jesus, yes, I need Jesus
Forgive me, yeah
Come into my life
Come into my heart
Precious Jesus
Precious Jesus
And I know you said I need Jesus
Well, Mama, can't you see I'm doing
Can't you see I'm doing alright?
Yes, I know you said I need Jesus
Well, Mama, he is in my life
Yes, he is in my life, yeah, yeah
No, Mama, Jesus saved me, Mama, yeah, yeah
No, Mama, Jesus saved me
No, Mama, Mama, yeah
