Next Thing You Know

Matthew West - Next Thing You Know
(Thirteen)From the album History

I remember when I was thirteen
I saw a picture on my TV screen
The Reverend Billy Graham and the people sing “Just As I Am”
And I felt like You were talking to me
And the whole world seemed to fade away
Until I heard my mother say
“Son, are you ok? Do you wanna pray?
And that became the hour I first believed

Chorus:
And next thing you know
I’m high and flying, next thing you know
My heart is in Your hands, next thing you know
There is no denying, 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 along way from thirteen
And You were calling but I didn’t hear
Still I knew there was something more
So one day my knees hit the dorm room floorI said
“If You’re there and if You really care
Come and talk to me like I was thirteen”

Chorus:
And next thing you know
I’m high and flying, next thing you know
My heart is in Your hands, next thing you know
There is no denying, next thing you know
I’m a brand new man.

I 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 blew me away
‘Cause I can see it on every face
Their evidence of grace
And as I listen it occurs to me
Everybody’s got their own thirteen

And next thing you know
I’m high and flying, next thing you know
My heart is in Your hands, next thing you know
There is no denying, next thing you know
I’m a brand new man.

And next thing you know
I’m high and flying, next thing you know
My heart is in Your hands, next thing you know
There is no denying, next thing you know
I’m a brand new man.

So what’s your story about His glory?
You gotta find your place in the history of grace

I LOVE this song. I mean we can all relate to it so easily sometimes. Before we meet God we are all scum of the earth and we all feel horrible and after He comes into our lives we are still pretty much scum but we are up there "high and flying". We're "brand new" men , well and women ;-). So yeah. That song is AWESOME. Plus, if we do fall which we DO. He ALWAYS takes us back. Because HE loves us. You, and You, and me, and the person who hates their life because of the crappy job or whatever it is.
