I Know I'Ve Been Changed

On the Pray For Me album, you heard me talk
About the young man that left the choir
Oh I need some Holy Ghost folk here now
I need somebody to talk to me tonight
Somebody say amen (amen)
Somebody say thank you Jesus (thank you Jesus)
Oh

That young man went back to the club
Where he was a rock and roll singer
The people got up and began to cheer for him
They said would you sing us a song
Y'all know in the Pray For Me album I told you
He told them he couldn't sing no other kind of song
He couldn't sing no B.B. King songs no more
He couldn't sing Bobby Bland and Johnny Taylor songs
Oh he told them
Stood in that little club that night and told them

Pray for me
They were kinda wondering why did he
Come in here and ask us to pray for him
Oh Lord let me explain
Let me explain myself
After he got through singing Pray For Me
You know you can't please some folk
Somebody say amen
Oh

Man wrote down a request and walked up to him and passed it to him
And said sing this song for us
See you remember how well you used to sing it
He said no no
I can't sing that song

Young man looked at him and said why you can't sing it
You know what he told him
Since you saw me last
Something happened to me
Things I used to do
I don't do no more

I don't wanna take all night on this thing

But before he left that club that night he told that young man

I know I've been changed
I know I've been changed
He told him I

I know I've been changed
The angels in heaven done signed my name
That won't tell him
I
I know I've been changed
How many of you say you've been changed in the house
I know
Oh I

I know
The angels in heaven done signed my name
Listen he said this

I went down
In the water
He said the water
Was so chilly and cold
It chilled my
Natural body
But you know what he said
The water didn't hurt my soul
Oh

Can you say I
I know
Oh I
I know
Oh I
Know I been changed
The angels in heaven done signed my name
