I been bad, I been awful
I been known to do something unlawful
Always lookin' for a stop sign
To plow right through
I straightened up, I knelt down
Such a sweet, settled peace I've found
Ever since I gave my heart to You
Hey, I was in trouble, man, I was a mess
Like the Eastern side of a mule headed west
You've got me doin' things
That I thought I'd never do
Ever since I gave my heart to You
I quit smokin', I ain't drinkin'
I done changed my whole way of thinkin'
Lately, instead of lyin'
I've been tellin' the truth
(Livin' is my daily in the gospel of truth)
I stopped swearin', I started carin'
There's a non-stop smile I'm wearin'
Ever since I gave my heart to You
Hey, I was in trouble, man, I was a mess
Like the Eastern side of a mule headed west
You've got me doin' things
That I thought I'd never do
Ever since I gave my heart to You
Ever since I gave my heart to You
Ever since I gave my heart to You
(Ever since I gave my heart)
(Ever since I gave my heart)
(Ever since I gave my heart to You)
Ever since I gave my heart to You
(Ever since I gave my heart)
(Ever since I gave my heart)
(Ever since I gave my heart to You)
Ever since I gave my heart to You
(Ever since I gave my heart)
(Ever since I gave my heart to You)
Ever since I gave my heart to You
(Ever since I gave my heart)
(Ever since I gave my heart)
(Ever since I gave my heart to You)
Ever since I gave my heart to You
