Next thing you know

I remember when I was thirteen
I saw a picture on my T.V. screen
The Reverend Billy Graham and the people singing "Just As I Am"
And it felt like You were talking to me
And the whole world seemed to fade away
Until I heard my mother say "Son, are you okay? Do you wanna pray?"
And that became the hour I first believed
Next thing you know I´m high and flyin´
Next thing you know
My heart is in your hands
Next thing you know
There´s no denyin´
Next thing you know I´m a brand new man
Well, I wish I could say I always stayed right there
And I did until my freshman year
But the world was pulling me a long way from thirteen
And you were calling but I didn´t hear
Still I knew there was something more S
o, one day my knees hit the dorm room floor
I said, "If you´re there, and if you really care,
Come and talk to me like I was thirteen."
Got a picture in my head today of how heaven might look someday
I see the people there, so I pull up a chair
And their stories, they blow me away
´Cause I can see it on every face
The evidence of grace
And as I listen it occurs to me
Everybody´s got their own thirteen
So, what´s your story about His glory?
You gotta find your place in the history of grace
Yeah, what´s your story about His glory?
Come on and find your place
I saw a picture on my T.V. screen
The Reverend Billy Graham and the people singing "Just As I Am"
And it felt like You were talking to me
And the whole world seemed to fade away
Until I heard my mother say "Son, are you okay? Do you wanna pray?"
And that became the hour I first believed
Next thing you know I´m high and flyin´
Next thing you know
My heart is in your hands
Next thing you know
There´s no denyin´
Next thing you know I´m a brand new man
Well, I wish I could say I always stayed right there
And I did until my freshman year
But the world was pulling me a long way from thirteen
And you were calling but I didn´t hear
Still I knew there was something more S
o, one day my knees hit the dorm room floor
I said, "If you´re there, and if you really care,
Come and talk to me like I was thirteen."

So, what´s your story about His glory?
You gotta find your place in the history of grace
Yeah, what´s your story about His glory?
Come on and find your place
