Letra
I remember when you were everything I wanted to be In high school, basketball consumed me My sophomore year, the coaches didn't choose me I was devastated, but I still watched every game you played in And I always wanted you to shine Everyone thought you'd go far at the time But life had other plans I remember when you found out your dad had cancer and we cried in the stands We were just kids back then, but you took it like a man You kept fighting And on the court, you moved like lightning Nothing can stop, or so I thought To be honest, Joe, I looked up to you a lot But then things came tumbling down Alcohol and a woman's accusation tarnished your reputation around town We went our separate ways, you stayed in town and I moved around You started hanging around a bad crowd That took you to places you were never meant to go That put chains on you, but you were meant to grow And I remember going out one night to dinner when my brother took me We saw you from afar on the deck of Wolfie's I could barely recognize you back then You were just bones and skin The alcohol and drugs had taken its toll We were in our early twenties, but you looked old I didn't even approach you, it was like I didn't know you I wanted to say something, but I didn't know to So I left that night and drove away Thinking about that talent you had thrown away Two years later, more rumors were wispin' around You had a baby out of wed-lock with a girl uptown A little boy that looked just like you But the girl who quickly began not to like you Your baby was on the bottle drinking milk You were on the bottle close to being killed And that's when I talked to your brother Jake and Jimmy's wedding Everyone was happy, but he looked down and out in that setting I asked him if he was okay You were strung out on a binge that day He told me his family thought they might lose you Everyone knew, and he asked me if I knew, too I didn't, it was my first time hearing it Jake said you could lose your life or at least you were nearing it I asked for your number, and he put it in my phone I called you that night after the reception on my way home You could barely form a sentence when we spoke that night You kept asking me for help, and I told you it would be alright You didn't want me to come over because you were ashamed of me seeing you at your lowest You were embarrassed that night and tried not to show it But that didn't keep me from showing up You were on the porch of your mom's house throwing up I helped you in the house, and you sat on the couch We woke up your family in the middle of the night Your mom and sister Jess had tears in their eyes I told you I was there to help you and that I was gonna fight for you I prayed out loud in that living room that God would bring life to you You were slumped over, and you smelled like liquor I talked to your mom and talked to your sister She had her little boys with her They wanted their uncle Joey But you were drifting unconscious slowly I invited you to go to church with me that weekend I was in town of Dad's church where two days later I'd be preaching You told me you didn't have anything to wear and you couldn't attend You asked if I had a dress shirt I could possibly lend I told you to go to bed and get ready for tomorrow You didn't make it that far, though You stumbled down the hallway and paused at your door You asked me what I was doing this for You're my friend, Joe And friends help friends After all, Jesus still helped me in all of my sins You went to bed that night wasted and dying I drove home in the moonlight anxious and crying I prayed and asked God for a miracle to save your life I'll never forget that night The next day I took you to get a Bible at LifeWay Christian Bookstore We got stopped by a fan as soon as we opened the door He told me my minister had saved his life from alcohol addiction I pushed you in front of him and asked you to listen It was a divine appointment in aisle 3 He started pouring into you, and it was wild to see God was at work, and he was using that man It wasn't by mistake, God had a plan We left there, and you asked if that was God at work You had tear stains on your shirt I smiled and said nothing happens by chance God has a funny way of transforming our cans from our can'ts We walked into the fashion store Something you don't have much of a passion for But we picked you out a suit and shoes I stood back and let you choose Black on black and a belt to top it off When you stood in the mirror, you looked like you never wanted to take it off You got chills on your arms, and you couldn't shake that off It was like you were beginning to see who you could be rather than what life had made you You were seeing who God calls you rather than what Satan names you You teared up when we left with that suit, and I can't blame you Life was starting to turn around We had the windows rolled down when we rolled back through town With a new Bible on your lap and an outfit in the back Life seemed like it was finally starting to get back on track And then it happened there at the revival I got done preaching, watched you walked down the aisle You had both hands up, and you were walking in freedom Winter sins were gone, and spring came in with it's new season I almost fell to my knees I remember that night asking for a miracle, please Lord, please And then it happened You gave your life to Jesus You understand that we need Him, but He doesn't need us But He died for us, and He adopted you that day I watched you at the altar as you knelt to pray And it was like for the first time, I saw the weight drift away You've been clean now for months, and you've been shouting your initials J.O.E Because you know that that freedom comes from putting Jesus over everything
