Check it out, ya'll
(There've been times in my life)
I'm tired and I wanna give up
(I've been wondering why)
Why is the world gettin' so crazy?
(Still, somehow I believe)
I've come too far to die now
(I always survive)
If you're a survivor, get up!
Let's get it!

Gonna cry now, go ahead and get it out of my system
I know I hurt now, but soon I gotta get back to livin'
Can't be here next year, givin' you these same tears
I hope you enjoyed it, 'cause it's the last time you will take a piece of me

I start right now, I don't know how I'm gonna get thru it
I know right now, I pray somehow 'cause I can't do it
I can't keep livin' like this, there's gotta be more than this
Jesus, I'm ready, I'm ready for what you have for me

[Chorus:]
(Are you gonna wait for a sign?)
Are you ready for your miracle
God's people it's time to'(stand up and fight)
Let's get it, let's get it'This is it!
Can't mess with my mind anymore'This is it!
I'm smarter, see I've been here before'This is it!
It's a new day, I'm not afraid anymore'This is it!
Yes, I believe, if you believe, help me say'This is it!

I'm a child of the King baby, look at somebody and tell 'em'This is it!

I look back now, I look at how you tried to break me
To take my life, my peace of mind and drive me crazy
My self esteem, my dreams, my destiny
So, God allowed it, because He knew He had big plans for me (Hallelujah!)

It's your grace, I know today it's how I made it (Thank You, Jesus)
When I thought that it was over' (Lord, have mercy)

[Chorus]

Everybody that's been holdin' you down, look at 'em and tell 'em'This is it!
I feel my help coming on right now, ya'all'

You think that maybe it's over'(You're life ain't over)
Not unless you want it to be

(Are you gonna wait for a sign?)'you're miracle
(stand up and fight)

[Rap:]
This is it ya'll, this is it ya'all
You've been waitin' and debating, here it is, ya'll
All your stuff from your past, shake it off ya'll
Though they said you wouldn't last, but who is ya'll?
Want your dreams back? Let's get it!
Your peace of mind back? Let's get it!
Want your family back? Let's get it!
Are you ready? Let's get it! (This is it!)
I speak against everything that comes to destroy the purpose in your life'This is it!
Worrying about your finances, your future, when you can't even sleep at night'This is it!
I speak against depression and fear, every attack from the enemy'This is it!
This is your day, the Lord made it baby! God has set you free! 'This is it!

Can't mess with my mind anymore'This is it!
I'm smarter, see I've been here before'This is it!
It's a new day, I'm not afraid anymore'This is it!
I wanna hear ya'll sing this with your boy!
Every body say'This is it!

Can't mess with my mind anymore'This is it!
I'm smarter, see I've been here before'This is it!
It's a new day, I'm not afraid anymore'This is it!
Yes, I believe, if you believe, help me say'This is it!

Little boy, where you goin'?
Tell me what you gon' do, you gon' be
Tell me about your future, is college in your dreams?
You like that money and them shiny thing?

Got shot at seventeen
At your funeral we sing a sad song
Your momma's baby's gone
I hear the preacher say, "Rest in peace, little boy"

Little girl, where you goin'?
Do you even know you too young for them clothes?
I know you think you're grown
But let him see your mind not the crack of your behind

Baby, take your time and realize
Tomorrow has trouble of its own
Oh, and one more thing
You deserve a king 'cause you a queen, baby girl

What happened to the days when we knew the way
And we used to say Jesus
Now everything is gray when trouble comes we pray
Somethings gotta change

I've seen the lightin? flashing
And I, I heard the thunder roll
See it won't be long, God showing up on our wrong
Get right church, before it?s time to go home

Mom and daddy, what you doin??
Ain't took a trip in years, busy with both your careers
Trying to make your mark
Even bought a house but your kids live at 106 & Park

It?s gettin' dark, don?t let the sun go down
Now your children ain?t around for you
Ain?t no money in the work, worth you losing family
Just tryin' to help you see, baby

What happened to the days when we knew the way
And we used to say Jesus
Now everything is gray when trouble comes we pray
Somethings gotta change

I've seen the lightin? flashing
I heard the thunder roll
See it won't be long, God is showing up on our wrong
You better get right church, before it?s time to go home

If we ever needed The Lord before
We sho' do, sho' do, sho' do now

Preacher man, where we goin'?
Church, what does it mean? Talent show or lottery?
I know I've been guilty, it starts inside of me
Together we can make a change

And one more thing
When you judge his name
Be careful the preacher ain't your God
See his job is to give people Jesus, baby, Jesus, baby

I've seen the lightin? flashing
I heard the thunder roll
See it won't be long, God is showing up on our wrong
You better get right church, before it?s time to go home

See it won't be long, God is showing up on our wrong
You better get right church, before it?s time to go home

Goin? home
Yes, I, I wanna go, I do, really do
I?m not tired yet, no, son, but to him
[Incomprehensible]

Goin? home

"I just want to write you a letter. I have to be very honest with you right now. I don't really know how to say this... "

[Verse 1:]
I wanna believe
But I'm having a hard time seeing past what I see right now, I see right now
I wanna be free
But when I try to fly I realize I don't know how, no one showed me how
Wish I could see that this mess I'm in will really work out for my good, you said it would
So, if you can hear me, can you give me a sign cause I don't feel you like I should, please if you could
My faith is almost gone, I can't hold on much longer, take this cup from me

[Chorus A:]
Help me Believe
Can I believe
Let Me believe
I wanna believe
I'm no good on my own, please give me another chance
It's hard to believe in what I can't see
To give you my will cause you're what's better for
You can look in my eyes and see I wanna believe, believe, believe, believe

[Verse 2:]
(I want you to know)
I wanna believe
If I never hear I'm sorry I can let it go, gotta let you go
Cause, it's killing me. Jesus you know how it feels cause you've been hurt before, don't wanna hurt no more
I'm trying to hear you speak, but my heart is growing weaker, take this cup from me

[Chorus B:]
Help me Believe
Can I Believe
Let me Believe
I wanna Believe
I've been here before and can't take that hurt again
It's hard to believe in what I can't see
To give you my will cause you're what's better for
You can look in my eyes and see I wanna believe, believe, believe, believe

[Bridge:]
Believe
Believe

[Verse 3:]
I wanna believe when I close my eyes on this side I'll wake up with you, more in love with you
And, and finally, you will say my race it is over and my work is through, cause I believed in you
I know dark nights will come and some days there'll be no sunshine and you're too far to see

[Chorus A]

[Believe: repeats and inverts]

. . .


I know You see us, I know You hear us
And You fill us when we pray
You understand us, see deep inside us
Translate tears then take them away

I'ma be honest, there are times
Your ways and method's, I don't understand
You seem so far, tell me who You are
I know Your touch, but can't see Your plan

I'm lost in this thing called life
Left to me, now feels right
It's Your turn now
I wanna be where You are

Hide me, let me live behind You
?Cause I need shelter from the rain
Remind me the only way my faith can grow
Is when You let Your winds blow
You're making me stronger now
So rain, don't go away, don't go away

I admit, it'd be nice
To have some light shine down on me
Especially when what I shall be
You don't always let me see

It ain't easy but I'm trying
Hard to get out of Your way
To believe that what You say
That my change begins today

The road includes some pain
And to grow you need some rain
And when it falls
I wanna be where You are

Hide me, let me live behind You
?Cause I need shelter from the rain
Remind me the only way my faith can grow
Is when You let Your winds blow
You're making me stronger now
So rain, don't go away, don't go away

?Cause there's some much I see
Needs to grow inside of me
In the fire I realize
Before I live, I have to die

Please believe me when I say
I can't waste another day
It's so easy to complain
But complain don't make a change

Not the victim anymore
All the things God has in store
If I ain't ready don't let the rain
Go away, don't go away

Hide me
?Cause I need
Remind me the only way my faith can grow
Is when You let Your winds blow
You're making me stronger now

You're making me stronger now
You're making me stronger now
You're making me stronger now
You're making me stronger now

You're making me stronger now
You're making me stronger now
You're making me stronger now

You made me stronger now
You made me stronger now
You made me stronger now
You made me stronger now

He made me stronger now
She?s made me stronger now
They made me stronger now
They made me stronger now

You made me stronger now
You made me stronger now
You made me stronger now
You made me stronger now

You made me stronger now
You made me stronger now
You made me stronger now
You made me stronger now

. . .


I ain't gonna lie, I can't even count the days
Or the many nights I tried living here alone
A heart full of pride, you couldn't see the enemy was me
I was blind and thought my second chance was gone

A ship without a sail, battered by a raging sea
Taking any love I can to try and stop the rain
While waiting to exhale, I finally got on my knees
I know it's been a long time, do You still remember my name?

Can I go back in time? Can I have another try?
But I can't change yesterday

Oh, I can't take another day without You
'Cause this heart don't beat the same without You
I forgot who I was, got caught up in this world
Jesus, I apologize

I should've lost my mind without You
Not another sleepless night without You, Jesus
I'm sorry and I'm asking please
Make us how we used to be

I try and try to keep my mind on You
But trouble keeps calling me
Every time a wound heals
Something else takes the healing away

But even when I've gone too far
You don't even call my name
Mama said, "If you love let it go
And if it comes back then it's back to stay"

You already know I belong to only You
I run to Your arms and say

Oh, I can't take another day without You
?Cause this heart don't beat the same without You
I forgot who I was, got caught up in this world
Jesus, I apologize

I should've lost my mind without You
Not another sleepless night without You, Jesus
I'm sorry and I'm asking please

Never knew a life so cold
Thought that things could fulfill my soul
Tried to find love on my own
It was hard to admit I was wrong

No money, no cars, no fame, no lies, no games
My life is taken

Now we've come to the break
Tell me what You gonna say, I know
I give my life right, but You know
You ain't promised tonight, baby girl

Without You, I can't breathe
Without You, I can't exist
Without You, this world ain't got nothing for me
I'm coming home

Oh, I can't take another day without You
'Cause this heart don't beat the same without You
I forgot who I was, got caught up in this world
Jesus, I apologize

I should've lost my mind without You
Not another sleepless night without You, Jesus
I'm sorry and I'm asking please

Oh, I can't take another day without You
'Cause this heart don't beat the same without You
I forgot who I was, got caught up in this world
Jesus, I apologize

I should've lost my mind without You
Not another sleepless night without You, Jesus
I'm sorry and I'm asking please
Make us how we used to be
Make us how we used to be

. . .


Though your vessel be empty
He will supply
For His yoke is easy
He will supply

He will supply, He will supply
Oh, Jesus said that He will supply

Though your dreams feel like memories
He will supply
And some relationships are now empty
He will supply

He will supply, He will supply
Oh, Jesus said that He will supply

So my friend, don't you worry
He will supply
This is just temporary
He will supply

He will supply, He will supply
Oh Jesus, oh Jesus, my Jesus
Sweet Jesus, yes, Jesus
Oh, Jesus said that He will supply

Oh, supply, oh, supply
Oh, supply, oh, supply
Oh, supply, oh, supply
Oh, supply

He said He will, He said He will
He said He will supply
I know He will, I know He will
I know He will supply

He told me He will, He told me He will
He told me He will supply
He said He will, He said He will
He said He will supply

Ooh, superstar
Never drove around in a fancy car
Kids looked at me funny, momma she had no money
But she always told me, "Baby, know who you are?

I say ooh, don't you know
It was hard always wearing my cousin's clothes
Can you hand me down a dream
With those hand-me-down jeans?
Thought I'd never make it but I made it y'all

'Cause I had Jesus when I had nothing
Had to struggle, and was up to no good
Jesus, the reason I'm still breathing is 'cause
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus

Is crazy how you love me
Even when I don't love you like I should
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus

Ooh, look at me
I know I'm now all I'm supposed to be
I'm gonna get it right, didn't get here overnight
So while you're waiting please wait patiently

I say ooh, it's so sweet
To know that You were always in love with me
Thought my game was clever
But no one can play me better than You
You know You always win

?Cause You're Jesus, when I had nothing
Had to struggle, and was up to no good
Jesus, the reason I'm still breathing is 'cause
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus

Is crazy how You love me
Even when I don't love You like I should
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus

Ooh, when I think about Your name I go
Ooh, how You took away my pain I go
Ooh, every night at the club, ain't no wife at the club
That Jesus He be showing me love

It's only by His grace I can say look at me now

Hey Mr. DJ, hey Mr. DJ
Can you play my favorite song? Will you play my favorite?
I heard it say it's gonna get better
We gon? make it out the hood someday

Hey Mr. DJ, hey Mr. DJ
I wanna hear that song about Jesus
I heard my mama crying, I gotta let her know
He's gonna wipe her tears away

Jesus, when I had nothing
Had to struggle, and was up to no good
Jesus, the reason I'm still breathing is 'cause
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus

Is crazy how You love me
Even when I don't love You like I should
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus

Jesus, hey Mr. DJ, hey Mr. DJ
Jesus, Jesus, hey Mr. DJ
Jesus, Jesus, hey Mr. DJ, hey Mr. DJ
Jesus, Jesus

. . .


Toby Mac, turn it up
Kirk, gon? get his white boy on
God, I know You up to something
I can see it all right now
You pulling back my covers
It's getting crazy, c'mon

Think I'm gonna walk away
You're messing up my life today
This time I refuse to pray
Still You keep calling me

I don't wanna see Your face
The thing I love You erased
Nothing but a empty space
Now I don't know how to be

I know it wasn't right for me
What You liking, what You need
I feel like I'm in surgery
Still You cut deeper

My secrets within
My blanket of sin
Lord, how much longer
'Till You through with me
Please take what You need

Be still and know I am God
Be still and know I am God

Lord, You was not my way
Everything You don't explain
Something?s I don't wanna change
So You keep breaking me

It's like I'm fighting for my life
You hit me with another right
I feel like Jacob in the night
Won't stop 'til You bless me

My flesh and my will
Is Yours not to kill
Breezing myself to You
But living sacrifice is more

Be still and know I am God
Be still and know I am God
Be still and know I am God
Be still and know I am God

If I could I'd fly away from here
But even when I'm far You still are near
I gotta get out, there's no way out
But what if I run, there's nowhere to run
Let go, don't go, gotta go, can't go
No, no, no

You win
I've been trying to do it on my own
But right now I gotta surrender
You know what's best

It's not easy waiting on You
It's not easy believing that You got this together
But without faith it is impossible to please You
So I'ma stand right here
You got me, You got me, You got me

Be still and know I am God
Be still and know I am God
Be still and know I am God
Be still and know I am God

Hallelujah, You God, I'm nothing
You got me

. . .


It would take all day to tell You how I need You
It was hard but now I'm learning how to trust You
And to know You more than just my friend
?Cause friendship sometimes end

It would take all day to show You how I miss You
When my own desires they steal my heart from You
And hurt You, but still You say there's room
That You want me close to You, it's amazing

So incredible to me
How You look past where I am and see where I will be
Though millions call Your name
You still make time for me, that's incredible to me
That's incredible to me

It would take all day to tell You how I thank You
For all those times in my life You've come through
I appreciate You, no goodness of my own
How You forget my wrong, it's amazing

So incredible to me
How You look past where I am and see where I will be
Though millions call Your name
You still make time for me, that's incredible to me

So incredible to me
How birds that fly will testify, You will supply our needs
Although my life may change
Your promises You keep, that's incredible to me
To me, to me, to me

If it takes all day to tell You I love You
This heart that beats, each fragile piece I give You
It's for You, before I knew my name
Our love would be arranged, it's amazing

So incredible to me
How You look past where I am and see where I will be
Though millions call Your name
You still make time for me, that's incredible to me

So incredible to me
How birds that fly will testify, You will supply our needs
Although my life may change
Your promises You keep, that's incredible to me
That's incredible to me, that's incredible to me

It takes a whole nation to help me raise this generation
When you look out of the window, tell me what do you see?
If it?s a world without a father then you?re looking at me

It takes a whole nation to help me raise this generation
My respect to the mothers that be holding it down
But it sho? would be nice to have my daddy around

All I need is one mike, I know you can see
I?m not a rapper but there are some dudes that are just like me
Every time you took a picture with you and your family
It was only two people when it?s supposed to be three

It was supposed to be me asking why is the sky blue?
When I grow up I wanna be like you
Yo daddy, can you teach me how to tie my shoes
Can I go with you to work so I can see what you do?

Let me see what you do, so I can love my kid too
But you didn?t stick around, was that too much to ask of you?
Too much to get a blueprint, no, too much to show the way, no
That?s the reason why this building is not finished today

We?re lost boys, still we wanna believe that
My daddy?s coming back, he didn?t forget about me
Like a child after school we sit and we wait
I know that you gon? come, but that was ?78

It takes a whole nation to help me raise this generation
When you look out of the window, tell me what do you see?
If it?s a world without a father then you?re looking at me

It takes a whole nation to help me raise this generation
My respect to the mothers that be holding it down
But it sho? would be nice to have my daddy around

They say raising kids, it?s the parent?s responsibility
But it?s a million of y?all and only one of me
What happened to the village? As far as I can see
It?s been burned down by this modern day slavery

For eleven years I?ve been living here
I?ve seen momma cry more than eleven tears
Watching momma be daddy while he slips away
Does Jesus really hear kids when they pray?

Momma working two jobs, she can?t do it alone
She shouldn?t have to, she didn?t get knocked up on her own
And I know that, baby, momma?s drama brothers is real
But before you close the door don?t forget how it feels, remember

And daddy missed my game, and I made a touchdown
I won the talent show, but you weren?t around
If a girl breaks my heart, what I do with the pain?
And one more thing, daddy, can you tell me my name?

It takes a whole nation to help me raise this generation
When you look out of the window, tell me what do you see?
If it?s a world without a father then you?re looking at me

It takes a whole nation to help me raise this generation
My respect to the mothers that be holding it down
But it sho? would be nice to have my daddy around

Ain?t nothing gonna break me down
Can there nobody take me down
Can there nobody break me down, me down

Ain?t nothing gonna break me down
Can there nobody take me down
Ain?t nothing gonna break me down, me down

Ain?t nothing gonna break me down
Can there nobody take me down
Can there nobody break me down, me down

Ain?t nothing gonna break me down
Can there nobody take me down
Ain?t nothing gonna break me down, me down

It takes a whole nation to help me raise this generation
When you look out of the window, tell me what do you see?
If it?s a world without a father then you?re looking at me

It takes a whole nation to help me raise this generation
My respect to the mothers that be holding it down
But it sho? would be nice to have my daddy around

. . .


That touch I felt was You, I believe it
It felt like something You would do
How You, You keep reminding me
That You made me for You

I knew that there would be some days
That can't be guaranteed to be blue
It's true but then where would I be without opportunities
To watch You change my broken life

Hear You, tell me it's gon' be alright
Now see Your plans come together
In ways I can't even explain

Together we been through hard times
But Jesus, I'm still in love with You
I've had many loves in my life
But Jesus, You make me feel brand new

You know it's hard for me to believe
That You love me no matter what I do
So how I live, I hope You can see
That I'm in love with You

The morning sun was You
I appreciate it, just what I needed to get through
'Cause You knew I had a stressful day
Gotta get away with You, Jesus

You, You make me happy
If I wrote down all the things You do
The list would take forever
I thought it might be better to tell You

Why I smile is 'cause You
You bring no drama in my life
It was dark but I can see the light now
Everything is so beautiful to me

(Hey DJ)
Turn it up, it feels so good
To have somebody love you
And your heart won't break
Turn it up if you've been through love

You're ready now to let go of yesterday
Get on up and get yourself together
He's callin' you, it's all for you
If you don't know Jesus is so in love with you

You, You, yeah that's You just keep doing what You do
No one does me like You do
That's why I'm so in love with You
Who? You, yeah, it's You and if I have to got through
As long as I'm with You, I'm gone

. . .


I like me, yo, you like me?
'Cause I like me, do you like me?
See I like me, ?cause He likes me
God likes me, yo, you don't like me?

I like me, yo, you like me?
'Cause I like me, do you like me?
See I like me, ?cause He likes me
God likes me, yo, you don't like me?

Short, big nose, big lip
Kinda stutter but I, but I never trip
Got my daddy's swagger and I walk with a limp
Got a hot wife, no need to be a pimp

Never been cute, never been fly
Since I?ve been changed got that twinkle in my eye
Got my grill fixed, now I smile when I speak
Tell me who that is, yo, that's the Jesus Freak

I like me, yo, you like me?
?Cause I like me, do you like me?
See I like me, ?cause He likes me
God likes me, yo, you don't like me?

I like me, yo, you like me?
'Cause I like me, do you like me?
See I like me, ?cause He likes me
God likes me, yo, you don't like me?

I just smile, I'm so content
And I ain't even got yellow stones on my wrist
I hear the world saying I'm supposed to be rich
But I don't buy that, man, I don't go with the trends

Go the whole mile, lose or win
I hope that's the impression that the CD?s give
I'm more concerned about how they see me live
Than trying to get a house on MTV cribs

I like me, yo, you like me?
?Cause I like me, do you like me?
See I like me, ?cause He likes me
God likes me, yo, you don't like me?

I like me, yo, you like me?
'Cause I like me, do you like me?
See I like me, ?cause He likes me
God likes me, yo, you don't like me?

When the lights fade, I know that You see
More than my swagger, but it's You in me
From the storefront church to the packed out floors
They want an autograph but I'd rather give 'em Yours

Your ink don't fade, the crowd wants more
The King's on stage, the final encore
Can't believe it's me, now I'm chillin' backstage
Big nose, big lips, gon' get ya hands raised

I like me, yo, you like me?
'Cause I like me, do you like me?
See I like me, ?cause He likes me
God likes me, yo, you don't like me?

I like me, yo, you like me?
'Cause I like me, do you like me?
See I like me, ?cause He likes me
God likes me, yo, you don't like me?

Chains that try to bind me
Chains that won't let me go
Oh chains, they keep me from trying
Chains, please loose your stronghold

Chains, though I try to surrender
Chains, yet and still I remember
Whom the Son sets free is truly free indeed
Lord, free me from these chains

Chains, and my heart full of sorrow
Chains, I won't sleep well tonight because of these chains
How I long for tomorrow
?Cause today there are no tears left to cry

Chains, though it feels cold as winter
Chains, I will fight to remember
That by Your stripes I'm healed, to Your heart, Lord, I appeal
Please free me from these

Chains of abuse
Chains, suicide
Chains, pain from my past
Chains, that robbed my peace of mind

Chains, chains of divorce
Chains, addiction and fear
Oh chains, being afraid to die
Chains, and afraid to live

Chains, chains of depression
Chains, haven't laughed in a while
Chains, restore my joy
Chains, and give me back my smile

Ooh chains, I do love You, Jesus
Chains, but not like I should
Chains, I love You forever
Chains, but not like I could

Chains, have mercy on me
Chains, can't go on this way
Chains, save me I'm lost
Chains, help me believe what You say

Chains, this is just a test
Chains, though it's hard to see
Chains, I surrender Your will
So now I ask You please free me from these
Oh, please free me from these
Oh, free from these

I know You can, You said You will
Free me Jesus
I know You can, please if You will
Free me Jesus

I believe You can, I believe You will
Free me Jesus
So if You can, I pray You will
Free me Jesus

Please Lord, I'm begging You
Free me from
Oh, free me from these
Free me from these chains, chains

Chains
Chains
Chains
Chains, yeah
Chains
Chains

Lately I've been thinkin'
Thinkin' 'bout you
And all the things
I've seen you go through

Your mother, the kids an?
The problems at home
Sorry I wish I
Could fix what's wrong

I hurt when you hurt
I cry when you cry
Even the deep ones
Sometimes wonder
Why am I going through
I'm waiting but still no use

He's still in control
He's sovereign and He knows
Just how it feels to be afraid
Have folk you love walk away
Be still and know He's still in control

Lately depression
Your job and your life
Weighs on your mind
All day and all night

You know every scripture
And what prayer to pray
Only a fool would think
It'll all go away

But there is the use
For you there's a plan
A High Priest who knows
And who understands
What you cannot say
Just a little longer can you wait

He's still in control
He's sovereign and He knows
Just how it feels to be afraid
Have folk you love walk away
Be still and know He's still in control

Oh, don't know what tomorrow will bring
Or if this sickness will ever leave
You can paint a perfect picture
But will it ever look like it used to be

See, one thing I know for sure
This season made you stronger and more mature, oh
Can't you see how far you've come
And when you look back
It's gonna be worth it, oh

He's still in control
He's sovereign and He knows
Just how it feels to be afraid
Have folk you love walk away
Be still and know, be still and know
Be still and know He's still in control

He's still in control
He's still in control
He's still in control
He's still in control
He's still

I see you, I need you, but I don't know your name
I touch you, say I love you, but that's all you get for today
It's easy, so easy, to tell you it's gon be okay
When I don't walk shoes, haven't been through what you been through
Instead I push you away
Sunday everyone looks like you
But if our lives are cold inside tell me what's the use

If I say I love Jesus, but you can't see my Jesus
My words are empty, if they can't see Jesus in me
No more excuses, I give myself away
Because I may be the only Jesus they see

Too busy, forgive me, I've got problems of my own
It's easier to say your help is on the way
But I was your help all along
We're shouting, we're dancing, but can the world see a change
Am I just too selfish to see, the love they need You put inside of me

If we say we love Jesus, but they can't see our Jesus
Tell me what's the use if they can't see Jesus in you and me
No more excuses, we give it all away
Because we may be the only Jesus they see

If I am Your hands and Your feet, and if Your church is built inside of me
Where did we go wrong, we been here too long, we can't see Your face anymore
It's not the same anymore

Have mercy on us Jesus, please forgive us Jesus
I lost my purpose, if they can't see You in me
See I lied too long, and I change it all today
Because I may be, because I may be

The only Jesus they see, the only Jesus they see, the only Jesus they see
