Every dollar I make just slips away
Whiskey and women at the end of the day
While he’s out there savin’ the broken again
I spend everything on nothin’ but sin
Jesus saves, I spend
Tryin’ to buy peace from a bottle again
He builds up, I break down
Still his mercy keeps comin’ ‘round
Mama said, “Son, you keep diggin’ your grave
Chasin’ the devil, sinnin’ each day.”
Still, I stumbled down that lonesome road
Dodgin’ the mercy that the good lord showed
Jesus saves, I spend
Bet it all on cards I could never win
He holds strong while I cave in
Still he calls me back again
Had my last dollar in my pocket, gonna let it ride
Get one more round, maybe one last high
But then the room went quiet and I fell to my knees
And I felt his mercy wash over me
I was saved even when I was gonna spend
Guess he has bigger plans for me in the end
Now, I don’t measure life by the cash I waste
I measure it in love and amazing grace
Without his mercy, I’d have met my end
But he saved this broken man, I’ve been born again
Jesus saves, I’ve been found
Grace picked me up from the cold, hard ground
He gave me strength when I gave in
Now I walk with him, forgiven of sin
So if you’re runnin’ on empty and at your end
Remember this my old friend
Jesus saves… even when you spend
