I recall when I was just eight-teen
Nothing to do one night, so I went to church with a friend of mine
And that's when I saw the light
A power was there like I'd never known
Moved me right out of my seat, I could feel His blood washing
Over me the night I was made complete
I was born again, turned away from sin
No longer could I do the things I used to do
Then people started talking
Never making trouble, playing life straight
Always keeping under control
You're such a little saint
I knew I couldn't let them get to me
The things my friends would say
At times it seemed so much to take and too hard for me to stay
I held on, stayed in the world, stood tall down on my knees
Never forgetting the words I read of hope and security
And I learned all the while these firey trials
Are to test your faith can you endure when the rumors fly
Never making trouble, playing life straight
Always keeping under control
Got no time for running, heaven won't wait
Always on a mission from God you're such a little saint
It ain't easy being a light in a world of darkness
Day after day getting hit from every side and still we carry on
With hope in the name of love
