He Got a Hold of Me

They said, "Stand up on the stage, kid

Sing a song and play the part

They'll sing you back the praises

You desire in your heart"

They said, "Grab ahold the good life

Yeah, you can have it all"

But they don't ever warn you

How far you gotta fall

Was face-down

But I see now

It was at the end of myself

When I cried out for help

It was in the wandering lost

When I stumbled to the cross

At the lowest place

I met the highest name

Broken and left crawling on my knees

He got ahold of me, Jesus

He got ahold of me, Jesus

Well, I went and built a kingdom

Yeah, I did it on my own

But that kind of house won't stand up

It don't have a cornerstone

I had to watch it crumble

Come crashing to the ground

Lying underneath the rubble

Is where the truth is found

And at the end of myself

When I cried out for help

It was in the wandering lost

When I stumbled to the cross

And at the lowest place

I met the highest name

Broken and left crawling on my knees

He got ahold of me, Jesus

He got ahold of me, Jesus

Grabbed ahold (grabbed ahold) of his hand

But he grabbed ahold (hold) of my heart

I didn't know (when he said) when he said, "It's finished"

That's where my life would start

That's where my life would start

It was at the end of myself

When I cried out for help

It was in the wandering lost

When I stumbled to the cross

At the lowest place (lowest place)

I met the highest name (highest of names)

Broken and left crawling on my knees

He got ahold of me (Jesus)

He got ahold of me (Jesus)

He got ahold of me (Jesus)

He got ahold of me (oh yeah, Jesus)

He got ahold of me
