"damascus road" lyrics

I was headed to a whitewashed grave
I thought I had it all, but I was far away
I was righteous, but in my own eyes
It's hard to see the truth when you lose your sight
Oh, I lost my sight

Yeah, whoa, whoa

Oh, I threw stones, You threw a lifeline
I was blinded like a deer up in the headlights
Heart was cold, filled with hate, I
Clenched a fist and fought against life in Your light
When I was still Your foe
You met me there on Damascus Road

I was running, but so was God
I couldn't slow You down with all the things I've done
Oh, hallelujah, this broken man's been saved
And all my life, I give to the King of grace

Oh, I threw stones, You threw a lifeline
I was blinded like a deer up in the headlights
Heart was cold, filled with hate, I
Clenched a fist and fought against life in Your light
When I was still Your foe
You met me there on Damascus Road

Whoa, on Damascus Road
Whoa, You healed my heart of stone, whoa

I threw stones, You threw a lifeline
I was blinded like a deer up in the headlights
Heart was cold, filled with hate, I
Clenched a fist and fought against life in Your light
When I was still Your foe
You met me there on Damascus Road

I was headed to a whitewashed grave
Until I saw the light, and He changed my name
