Look At Me Now
Persecuted, criticized, been denied and abandoned
Pushed away, given away, some days I couldnt imagine
Getting harder, getting colder, was hard for me to see
Tired of runnin, tired of hurtin, even got tired of me
Tired of cryin, tired of tryin to forget my mistakes
Tired of bein in this storm, how much more can I take
Many nights in my life, tell me why
I shed more tears, my eyes would allow
And after all that
Look at me now!
Im stronger this time around!
Not because I was so good, but somehow
You looked past where I was
And you knew Id come through cause You loved me
Look at me know!
So many didnt make it through
Thats why this heart belongs to only You!
How can I complain bout the pain I went through
Cause it grew me
Look at me now!
Had no hope, had no future, even too hard to dream
No one told me, boy, you can be whatever you want to be
Then You saved me and You gave me reason to breathe again
Not perfect, yall, but Im gon run til I make it to the end
(It aint easy when your lifes filled with wounds that wont heal)
And you fight through the lies trying to find whats for real
Everyone wants the prize but they cant stand the pain
The strength I needed it came that night I cried out Your name
To my people in the struggle, all my soldiers and believers
To my survivors of Rita, Katrina and even FEMA!
(All things are working together for our good)
Look at me now!
Im stronger this time around!
Not because I was so good, but somehow
You looked past where I was
And you knew Id come through cause You loved me
Look at me know!
So many didnt make it through
Thats why this heart belongs to only You!
How can I complain bout the pain I went through
Cause it grew me
Look at me now!
Yes, Ive seen some hard times
Some bad choices that Ive made fell back on me
But now its time to move on, move on
Cant let my past hold down my destiny
And even though I dont always know
Why you allow the night to last so long
But when I see the sunlight
It was only to make me strong
Look at me
Look at me
Look at me
Look at me, look at me
Look at me now!
Im stronger this time around!
Not because I was so good, but somehow
You looked past where I was
And you knew Id come through cause You loved me
Look at me know!
So many didnt make it through
Thats why this heart belongs to only You!
How can I complain bout the pain I went through
Cause it grew me
Look at me now!
Im better now! Im closer now!
Im thankful now! Im happy now!
Look at me! Look at me!
Im stronger now! Im patient now!
Im grateful now! Ill praise you now!
Look at me! Look at me!
