That Somebody Was Me

The Guardians

He was raised in the church every Sunday He'd memorized John 3:16 He could sing every verse of Amazing grace And tell you what a Christian believes He'd come through the door with his bible And sit on the very same pew He was somebody looking the part But the one thing that nobody knew Somebody needed a savior Somebody needed a friend Somebody needed someone with the power To rescue a poor soul from sin Somebody needed salvation The Kind that you find on your knees The someone they needed was Jesus And that somebody was me Now he's given his life to the gospel That changed the man he used to be He is somebody living the part And he tells everybody he meets oh! Somebody needed a savior Somebody needed a friend Somebody needed someone with the power To rescue a poor soul from sin Somebody needed salvation The Kind that you find on your knees The someone they needed was Jesus And that somebody was me Someone was wiling to suffer And trade his life for mine Someone was willing to take up a cross Someone was willing to lay down his life Somebody needed a savior Somebody needed a friend Somebody needed someone with the power To rescue a poor soul from sin Somebody needed salvation The Kind that you find on your knees The someone they needed was Jesus And that somebody was me That somebody was me That somebody was me
