[Em]
Had I come to Jesus' revelation, [Am] in a blinding light I saw [Em] my soul's [E] salvation.
My feet don't falter, my limbs don't ache, [Em] through [Am] the waterless land of the [Em] thorns and the snake.
I [E] can taste the freedom in the back of my throat, [Em] my [Am] burden's too heavy for [G] me to [Am] tote.
[A] [E] So fell to my knees, I dug a hole down deep, dropped [G] him in a bottomless [D] pit for the [Em] devil to keep.
No [A] angel heard what [Em] I said, [A] I got an ancient [G] message from the voice [Em] inside of my head.
I [A] could suddenly see, a [G] good and bad both sides of me, [Em] down the road.

[Em] To Damascus road, where the wrath, sin, and evil of God's creation, [Am] humanity's filled
with this [Em] combination.
My faith won't waver, my spirit's wide awake, [Am] glory found now with every [Em] step I take.
[E] Changed forever when I [Em] came to believe, [Am] grace and forgiveness [B] given to [Am] me.
[B] [Em] Like a force of nature crosses wide and wicked land, [G] won't you hear the message [D] and decide
on [Em] which side you stay.
