Bio

Willie GodBroughtMe Outley:

I was raised in the streets of NYC.
As a kid I spent most of my time on the handball courts.
My mother raised me in the church.
We went to Pastor Steele’s church in Manhattan.
I sang with my mother and two sisters.
We were known as the OUTLEY SINGERS.
Later we attended New Greater Bethel Ministries in Queens.
I sang in the choir.
Later I moved to Charleston SC where I got married and had a child.
We then joined the Salvation & Deliverance Church.
After a bout with drugs and alcohol I wrote SAVED BY GRACE in a rehab center called FAITH HOME in Greenville SC.
I now attend the Kingdom of God Church where pastor Myron and Robin Alston preside and where I released my labor of love,
SAVED BY GRACE.

Lyrics

SAVED BY GRACE
BY: Willie GodBroughtMe Outley

For many shall come
In my name
Saying I am Christ
And shall deceive many
And because iniquity shall abound
The love of many shall wax cold
But he that shall endure until the end
The same shall be saved

Come on and put your hands together

I must endure
All the hardship
That comes my way
No longer bound
By my burdens
Thank God I’m saved

I must endure
All the hardship
That comes my way
No longer bound
By my burdens
I’m saved by grace

The steps of a good man
Are ordered by the Lord
Though he might stumble
He’s not gonna fall

Cause God will hold him up
With the strength of his hand
I will live my life
According to Gods plan

// // //
// // //
// // //

The lust of the flesh
Is a man’s downfall
In a world of wickedness
I’ve got to give my all

To live a life that’s pleasing
If it’s all I do
I’ll give Jesus all the praise
And the glory too

// // //
// // //
// // //

Because I’ve been changed
From darkness to light
I’ve been changed
From wrong to right
// // //
My life is brand new
Because Jesus loves you
And I do too

// // //
All the hardship
// // //
That comes my way (repeat)
// // //
Though the road might get rough
// // //
And my way may be tough
// // //
I must endure
// // //
Until God says enough
// // //
Though the billows may rise
// // //
And the strong winds may blow
// // //
I must endure
// // //
Till he bless my soul
// // //
Though he slay me
// // //
Yet will I trust
// // //
In him

And this gospel of the kingdom
Shall be preached in all the world
For a witness unto all nations
And then shall the end come
