Love Stepped In Lyrics

He was preachin' down off 3rd and main as I was passin' by
He was walking talking kinda crazy warnin' us all 'bout the end of time
So out from the crowd, I just asked him how could God love a mess like me
He said, "Son, I'm a preacher now but that ain't who I used to be"
He said

You'll never know, you'll never know
Just how far love has brought me
You'll never know who I used to be
Cause I've been around and I've been down
To the bottom of hell and back again
I was almost out, I was at my end
But then love stepped in

She works downtown at the halfway house almost every day
All the love she has she just gives away
So I asked her why she spends so much time on the broken and the poor
And she just smiled at me and said "I'm not who I was before"
She said

You'll never know, you'll never know Just how far love has brought me
You'll never know who I used to be
Cause I've been around and I've been down
To the bottom of hell and back again
I was almost out, I was at my end
But then love stepped in
Love stepped in

I look back sometimes over where I've been and just how far I've come
Since the day that preacher told me about His amazing love
I was lost and alone, then the lights came on and hope set my heart free
In the darkest hour grace got a hold of me, yeah

You'll never know, you'll never know
Just how far love has brought me
You'll never know who I used to be, oh oh
Cause I've been around and I've been down
To the bottom of hell and back again
I was almost out, I was at my end
But then love stepped in
Love stepped in
